Advantages of Privacy and Quick Response Make DIGIKIDS® Child ID Safety
Service the Choice of Bossier City Couple
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.
BOSSIER CITY, Louisiana - June 10, 2008 - John and Peggy Westfall have been
selected to launch the exclusive DIGIKIDS® child ID franchise for the
Bossier City/Shreveport Area, and surrounding NW Louisiana parishes,
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.
“For many reasons, DIGIKIDS® is the best child identification safety service
available today, hands down,” John Westfall said. “For one, it affords
parents and children complete privacy, because no database of information is
ever created, and everything provided by the service is assembled and
delivered onsite."
“With privacy protection a key concern for everyone these days, how can we
expect to earn the trust of parents if we send the personal information they
entrust to us to an offsite facility, as other children ID programs
routinely do?” he continued. “In addition, the DIGIKIDS® business card-sized
CD makes it easy, enabling parents to provide child identification
information to authorities and others quickly and accurately.”
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.
“We believe in this product very strongly, and pray parents never have to
use it.” Peggy Westfall continued. “But the possibility of a child being
lost is a reality, and we understand that it’s critical to keep up-to-date
information and photos of children, if the need arises.
John Westfall has earned a bachelor of business administration in marketing
with an emphasis in management. He has been employed in the air
conditioning/heating industry for the past 25 years, working during the past
eight years in sales and marketing. He volunteers his time with several
local charities.
A preschool, kindergarten and first grade teacher for the past 23 years,
Peggy Westfall has a master’s degree in elementary education.
“Working with young children and their parents is very rewarding” she explained,
“and I know keeping children safe and secure is vital to their education and
happiness.”
John and Peggy were married in January, 2007 and reside in Bossier City with
Peggy’s two sons, Thomas (12) and Jacob (9).
“We’ve always wanted to own our own business, and in doing the research to
find the right opportunity for John and me, I compared the offerings of many
franchises, especially those related to children. We knew we wanted to
invest our time and energy into a business that would provide a valuable
service to our community. For us, DIGIKIDS® is that business and that unique
opportunity,” Peggy Westfall added.
Years in development and 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.
“Good parents and good citizens, like John and Peggy Westfall, are
exceptional representatives for DIGIKIDS® services,” said Childs. “We are
proud to welcome the Westfalls to the growing family of dedicated DIGIKIDS®
franchisees across the country.”
