CBCT response system
The MCA program would implement and operationalize a regional system to ad-
dress the issue is a coordinated manner. This regional CBCT response system would 
manage each child’s case from initial logging through to repatriation of a rescued 
child (
Figure 11.3
).
It is envisaged that this regional system would work as follows
:
1. 
A secure, centralized server records missing (trafficked) children. Found 
children could also be recorded in this system. Alternatively, found children 
could be recorded in in-country systems which would be checked on an as-
needed basis by the CBCT response system.
2. 
Web browser interfaces for the initial reporting, alert activation and management 
(by the police or other authorized agency), and the provision of updates relating 
to the initial search and to the status of the missing child. Even though a missing 
child may be reported via the web interface it must be reviewed (by the police) 
before it is confirmed and accepted as a valid record of a missing child.
3. 
Child records remain open on the system until such time as the child has been 
successfully repatriated (by which time the child may be over 18).
4. 
A database of alert recipients is maintained by a system coordinator, and for 
each missing child alert a schedule of alerts may be created by an authorized 
agent (for example, certain police officers who have the authority to issue an 
alert). In the first phase at least, alerting is IP-based, and may consist of:
a. 
email notifications;
b. 
RSS news feeds;
c. 
XML-based data feeds to partner systems. These may include broadcast 
media outlets, national/local missing persons systems, and networks such as 
the police and railway police in India.
