Missing Children Doesn’t Always Happen to Someone Else
Missing children is parents’ worst nightmare. And yet we always say “It doesn’t happen in our neighborhood” or “It just happens to someone else.” Do we really know that one child is reported missing every 40 seconds, thus it is nearly 800,000 each year? Just reading this fact makes my heart stopped.
What do we need to prepare for child safety? There is a system that specializes in child alert. This is how they work.
First, the parent will have a secure storage of the child id which contains of the childs’ fingerprints, dental records, identifying marks and social security number. This information is stored in hard drive and water resistant USB keychain drive, and uploaded to the website. Second, just in case the child is late or missing, the child locator works, in which the parent can notify family, neighbors and friends (level 1), and 911 (level 2) by using this email and text blast system. The child’s data in the website can be open to public so that the authorities can know the details about the child.
Sounds depressing, right? But, it is true that we need to be prepared.
