Concern for the Privacy and Security of Their Son Led Parents to
DIGIKIDS® Child ID Safety Services for Monmouth County
In response to the more than 2,000 missing children reported in the
United States each day, DIGIKIDS® offers a child safety CD that allows
parents to quickly provide law enforcement officials, the media, the
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), and other agencies
with two high-resolution digital photos along with medical and identifying
information to aid in recovery efforts.
JACKSON, New Jersey - December 19, 2008 - Andrew and Beneitha Johnson have
been selected to offer the exclusive DIGIKIDS® child ID franchise for the
Monmouth County area, announced Michael J. Childs, DIGIKIDS®
president.
DIGIKIDS® offers a child safety CD that allows parents to quickly provide
law enforcement officials, the media, the National Center for Missing &
Exploited Children (NCMEC), and other agencies with two high-resolution
digital photos along with medical and identifying information to aid in
recovery efforts.
“The security of our two-year-old son was the driving force behind our
decision to seek the best child-identification service available,” explained
Andrew Johnson. “But, at the same time, we were searching for a business
opportunity like DIGIKIDS®, and in the process, we’ve discovered a superior
way of providing child safety identification and alerting the authorities in
the event a child becomes lost.”
“With DIGIKIDS®, we not only found a child-identification service with a
distinct difference, but a proven business opportunity, as well.”
Having both worked for more than 15 years in information technology
positions, the Johnsons were eager to apply their collective energy to their
own business.
“Working long hours, weekends and holidays wasn’t something we avoided,”
Beneitha Johnson said. “We concluded our time and resources were better
applied to making our own business succeed.
“Now, we feel like genuine child safety advocates for our community, as well
as entrepreneurs representing a great product and service.”
Offered through schools, preschools, churches, summer camps and other public
events, DIGIKIDS® delivers its secure Child ID kits on site in two minutes
or less. With its patent-pending technology to create each Child Safety CD,
DIGIKIDS® offers parents anywhere a secure and efficient tool that can help
speed the return of lost or missing children.
“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 his
disappearance,” explained John Walsh, founder of NCMEC.
“Parents like Andrew and Beneitha Johnson have a unique understanding of the
important roles safety and peace of mind play in underpinning happy family
lives,” Michael Childs said. “We are proud they have joined the growing
family of DIGIKIDS® franchisees.”
