The 6-year-old child was lost and called the police immediately after looking for it for an hour. How long will it take to file a case?

If a child or girl is missing or lost, the guardian or parents should report it immediately, and the police will file an investigation as soon as possible.

There has never been a rule in China that children have to wait 24 hours to file a case.

According to the Opinions of the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Justice on Punishing the Crime of Abducting and Trafficking Women and Children according to Law, if a child or girl who has reached the age of 14 and is under the age of 18 is reported missing, emergency measures should be taken first, regardless of whether the case is under their jurisdiction.

After examination, if it belongs to its own jurisdiction, it shall be investigated and dealt with according to law; If it does not belong to its own jurisdiction, it shall be promptly transferred to the public security organ with jurisdiction. In real life, if the public security organ claims that it can only file a case after waiting for someone to disappear for 24 hours, it is suspected of inaction.

Extended data:

There are only three situations when a child is lost:

1, I lost it myself;

2. Being kidnapped;

3. Directly stolen or robbed.

Therefore, parents should not only guard against traffickers, but also do a good job of prevention. If the prevention work is done well, it can prevent the baby from getting lost to a great extent.

First of all, be careful of the traffickers around you. You can't trust anyone close to your children except your family, including employees, fellow villagers, new friends, etc.

Second, don't think that people who rob children must be bold. Some traffickers are smiling and wearing sheepskin. Some traffickers can even hide around for a while to achieve their goals, and even use their grandchildren as bait to let their grandchildren play with your children first. The purpose is to let your guard down and look for opportunities to do it.

Third, take children to public places without safety measures. If you really want to take them out, you should let adults with social experience take them out, not nannies.

Fourth, children wear bright clothes when they go out, which is easy to be found. Stick a sticker on your body or put a card in your pocket and write down your parents' names and phone numbers. Children should remember their parents' and home phone numbers, and had better tell their neighbors' Huadian.

No matter what the situation is, you should be careful not to put the child out of sight.
