PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — This week on Flashpoint: Host and KYW Community Affairs reporter Cherri Gregg asks the burning questions about missing children.

In recent weeks, the story of 5-year-old Dulce Alavez's disappearance from a Bridgeton park has made headlines. She was allegedly lured away from her mother and has not been seen in more than two weeks. 

In Upper Darby, there have been numerous reports of child lurings near local schools. Plus, each week a number of teens go missing, and some are reported to be in danger. So what can parents do in the event of a missing child?

The organization is hosting a luncheon on Oct. 16 at Overbrook Country Club. The panel will focus on the media and recent effort to bring the issue of domestic violence to mainstream discussion. 

Flashpoint airs every Saturday at 9:30 p.m. and Sunday at 8:30 a.m. on 1060AM. It also airs at 5 a.m. Sundays on B101FM and WPHP 1210AM and at 6 a.m. on WOGL 98.1 and TDY 96.5.
