Then our last interview was with Michael Ohlsson – from the Concerned Parents of Missing Children or CPMC. The organisation was established by Michael and his wife Michelle after their
son Matthew went missing in 1997. CPMC aims to help track down other missing children. Concerned Parents of Missing Children was initially operational only in 
Mitchell’s Plain, however as a result of frequent requests from parents, their service now stretches across the Western Cape. Over the past eight years, the organisation has investigated 187 cases of missing children. From the 187 cases, 165 children were traced and reunited with their families.
