DIGIKIDS® Child ID Program Aids Quick Recovery of Missing Children Using Information Technology
The Child ID Kit allows parents to provide vital information to law enforcement officials, the media, the NCMEC and other agencies.
Fort Worth, TX (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) January 3, 2004 -- In response to the more than 2,000 missing
children reported in the United States each day, DIGIKIDS® recently unveiled its
new Child ID Kit that allows parents to provide law enforcement
officials, the media, the NCMEC and other agencies with two high-resolution
photos along with medical and identifying information to aid in recovery
efforts. According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
(NCMEC), far too many parents are not prepared to act in a missing
child emergency. Most importantly, DIGIKIDS® Quick Response™ software can
get this vital information into the hands of authorities anywhere in the world
within minutes.
According to the NCMEC, acting within the first 20
minutes following a disappearance is absolutely critical. By utilizing DIGIKIDS®
business card-sized CD-ROM (easily carried in a pocket or purse) which operates
in any PC with a CD-ROM drive, parents are only moments away from distributing
pre-formatted flyers and posters – complete with high-resolution photos and
last-minute details – anywhere in the world via internet email. “The electronic
delivery to law enforcement officials of a child’s digitized photo can save
crucial time, since the chances of safely recovering a child are much greater
within the first few hours immediately following a child abduction,” says John
Walsh, founder of the NCMEC (NCMEC.org).
Statistics show that one out of
six missing children are recovered as a direct result of someone in the general
public recognizing their picture and then notifying authorities. “When you are
trying to find your child, the most important thing is to immediately get
quality, up to date photos to authorities and in front of the public,” says
DIGIKIDS® founder Michael Childs. “Our Child ID Kit also includes
the identification tools of DNA, fingerprints and dental charts, but our focus
has been to develop the best product on the market for the mass distribution of
high-quality photos and identifying information in the shortest amount of
time.”
The DIGIKIDS® Child ID Kit is available through schools, daycares
and business-sponsored Safety Events for $15.95. For more information on how to
find or sponsor local events, or to start a DIGIKIDS® business in your city,
