National Missing Children’s Day Reminder
from DIGIKIDS®:
Always Keep Your Child’s Data with You
FORT WORTH, Texas, May 10, 2007 – As attention
focuses on the issue of child safety on National Missing Children’s Day May
25, DIGIKIDS® reminds parents that the most important thing they can do is
carry their child’s identification information with them at all times.
“If a child is missing, it is the first 20 minutes that matter the most,”
says Michael J. Childs, founder of DIGIKIDS. “Immediate access to a good
photo of the child and an accurate description are critical. If a parent can
keep that kind of information close at hand, it is invaluable in helping the
authorities do their job and reunite the child with his or her parents.”
More than 2,200 children are reported to police as lost or missing each day
in the United States. All but a few of those children are found safe within
hours, but no matter how short a time a child may be missing, it is an
agonizing experience for a parent.
That was why Childs founded DIGIKIDS, the onsite child ID company, in 2003.
What makes DIGIKIDS different is that it empowers parents in the event their
child is missing. The DIGIKIDS child safety CD contains two high-resolution
digital photos, along with medical and identifying information about a
child.
DIGIKIDS personnel create the CD onsite at schools, churches, or community
events. It takes only two minutes to create, and parents are given the only
copy of the information. DIGIKIDS keeps none of the child’s information in
any computer or database, so it can’t fall into the wrong hands.
Parents pay only a nominal charge for the DIGIKIDS child safety CD, and at
some community events, it can be obtained free, thanks to sponsors’
generosity. Also, DIGIKIDS provides detailed instructions on its company
website (www.digikids-id.com) for parents who want to create their own child
safety CD.
“The most important thing to DIGIKIDS is the safety of children. That’s why
I started this company and why our franchise partners continue to join us
and expand the reach of DIGIKIDS,” says Childs.
“We developed a system that helps parents take the most effective action as
soon as possible to find and recover their children. Instead of panicking in
those first minutes, they can put the information they are carrying with
them to work, and make a happy ending possible much sooner.”
