Colorado Child ID Program

The Worst happens more often than you think

• More than 14,000 Colorado children are abducted each year, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
• If something happens, such as abduction, the faster you can provide accurate and complete information to the authorities, the better the chances are of a happy ending.
• Local Masonic lodges are helping families prepare child “ID” information in case the worst happens to them.
• Parents bring their children to local events, where a computer software program captures digital fingerprints, and photographs of their children. A paper copy is printed for the parents for them to record vital information on their Child. A plastic bag is also included for the child’s DNA sample.
• The parents leave with three documents; Personal Safety information page, ID Cards and the Main ID page.
• These printouts can supply the police with the information they need in the case of abduction.
• The software is designed not to keep any digital trace of the captured information in the system. It supplies a hard copy only.
• The process is meant to be completely confidential!
• The parents and children go through the whole process together, showing the kids that there is nothing to worry about and this is being done to help keep them safe.
• You should update your child’s “ID” information, including a photograph, every six months. Children’s appearances change that quickly. That’s why programs like this are so helpful. [Read more…]
