The National Center For Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has removed all mention of LGBT Children From it's Website.

The non-profit was told this week by the DOJ to comply with Trump's Exceutive Anti-transgender Orders or lose federal funding. The NCMEC was also told that they would have to deadname transgender children in order to comply.

As first reported by Marisa Kabas on Bluesky:

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

All of Trumps Anti-Trans Excutive Orders as 2/8/2025.

NMEC plans to comply with DOJ threats. This email was sent out Wednesday night to staff, but it noticeably doesn't mention anything specifically about LGBTQIA+ kids or DOJ, just general compliance with executive orders:

A check of the Wayback Machine confirms that the NCMEC has deleted reports of Missing and Exploited Transgender, Lesbian, Bisexual children from its website.
