Most installments Walsh appeared in culminated with a reminder to call 911 in an emergency, showing a child dressed up in a telephone costume. Subjects ranged from child abuse to being lost in a public place, whereas others were milder in nature such as never inviting strangers indoors if home alone or the problems of sugar rushes. Walsh would appear with the segments’ usual roster of child actors to help illustrate scenarios in which children could often be in danger, and the solutions they could seek.

I think every police station or places that post missing children notices in the country should have a picture of Adam on their missing child wall. He was the son of America's Most Wanted host, John Walsh and his wife Rev. But you still hear about so many child abduction cases throughout the USA. John has stayed in Oak Forest, IL and Mokena, IL. One previous addresses found, including 11361 192nd St, Mokena, IL 60448, USA. John lives at 14759 Massasoit Avnue, Oak Forest, IL 60452-1120. You would think after making this movie, parents would be more cautious about the wear about of their kids. He may also be known by the following alternative names: John Walsh, Jack G Walsh. As a result, Walsh and others lobbied Congress to pass the Missing Children’s Act of 1982 which allowed police to become involved in missing children cases more quickly and created a national database of information about missing children. When John and Reve Walsh turned to the FBI for help, they discovered the agency would not become involved in such cases unless proof could be provided that an actual kidnapping had taken place.
