Massive Search For Kumar Narine

By Theresa Racine

Have you seen Kumar Narine? On Saturday, April 26, Peter DiMiceli, founder of Protect Our Children, and his team, Kumar’s family and about 50 others searched for the missing 17-year-old.

Kumar went missing on April 6, after leaving his grandmother’s house. A friend had called police to say he was missing. He was last seen heading to the Cross Bay Bridge and the last ping on his phone was from the Jamaica Bay area. NYPD and the Coast Guard searched the waters, but there was no sign of him or his bike. The family has hope for his return, and they need answers.

DiMiceli, the founder of Protectourchildren.org, has watched the decline in NYC and his hometown for several years now. The number of cases of missing children, drug trafficking, homelessness and human trafficking are reaching an all-time high. DiMiceli’s reason for doing this type of work and creating an organization comes from a deeper pain, as he was also an unprotected child. His vice president Edward Weitrack will take any measures necessary to Protect Our Children.

On May 10, Peter will be with his team at the Missing Children/Denim Day event at at 11 a.m. at St. Rose of Lima if you would like to meet him and learn more about his organization. He will also be conducting a workshop on cyber safety against predators. Also he is working to get an important bill passed. See his website for more or sign the petition at the event.

Anyone with any information about Kumar Narine’s whereabouts is asked to call the NYPD’s crime stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS. All calls are kept confidential.
