The caseworker must continue ongoing efforts to recover the child. The primary caseworker, at a minimum, coordinates efforts to locate the child and maintain monthly contacts with the assigned special investigator (SI).

Ongoing efforts may include at least monthly contacts, as applicable, with the following:

• National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
• Appropriate law enforcement agencies.
• The child’s relatives.
• The child’s former caregivers.
• Any social service agency that may be providing services to the child.

The assigned SI must actively assist the caseworker in searching for the child until the child is found or the court dismisses conservatorship of the child.

The SI must remain in contact with law enforcement and the NCMEC, if applicable, weekly until the child is recovered.
