Upon receiving this information, “The Smile of the Child” rapidly activated the AMBER ALERT HELLAS system under the directives of the Greek prosecutor’s office. This system is designed to quickly distribute information about missing children across the country, seeking the public’s assistance in locating them.

Konstantina is described as having brown hair and eyes, standing at a height of 1.50 meters, with a normal build. At the time of her disappearance, she was reportedly wearing a black pair of leggings, an animal print top, and a green skirt. These details have been broadcast widely to help in the identification of the missing girl.

The authorities have encouraged anyone with information regarding Konstantina’s whereabouts to launch direct communication with “The Smile of the Child”. This can be done through a dedicated 24-hour hotline, the European Hotline for Missing Children at 116000, any police station across Greece, or via the Missing Alert app which provides real-time updates about the case.

The community and officials remain on high alert in hopes of a swift resolution to this troubling situation, with many calls for vigilance and immediate reporting of any potential sightings or information regarding the missing child.
