Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam

How often must diligent efforts be made to locate a missing child during the first three months?

1. Daily

2. Weekly

3. Bi-weekly

4. Monthly

The correct answer is: Weekly

During the first three months of a missing child, diligent efforts must be made at least weekly to locate the child. This frequency allows for consistent and focused search efforts to be made without causing undue strain or financial burden on the search party. Daily efforts may be too overwhelming and hinder the overall effectiveness of the search, whereas bi-weekly or monthly efforts may not be frequent enough to yield positive results in a timely manner.
