X staat Schengen geseind

Dutch to English Law/Patents Law (general)
Hello!

I need some help with the following sentence "X staat Schengen geseind". X is the name of a child.

Context:

X child is lost and the Openbaar Ministerie from Antwerp is sending a letter to Spain asking for help to find her.

Do you know how to translate this expression?

Thank you very much!

a Schengen-wide alert has made for X

It looks like this refers to the Schengen Information System used to share information across countries, including for missing persons.

X is flagged as missing on the Schengen system

http://dictionary.reverso.net/dutch-english/geseind

The Schengen Information System (SIS) is the most widely used and largest information sharing system for security and border management in Europe. SIS enables competent national authorities, such as the police and border guards, to enter and consult alerts on persons or objects.

Or you could just use shorthand as the Dutch has, and say "is flagged on Schengen".

X is registered in the Schengen area.

Geseind staan = to be registered in

amber alert issued for X in the Schengen zone

The EU has its own missing people network: https://www.amberalert.eu/ with its special section for missing children.

They seem to call it a child alert.
