"KID PRINTS" EVENT

“KID PRINTS”

About the program:

The "KID PRINTS" program is a new service presented by the Missing Children Center, Inc. We would like to have as many children involved with the "KID PRINTS" as possible. It is fun and easy to get the program involved with your organization! Simply contact our office to schedule your "KID PRINTS" event!

"KID PRINTS" cards provide parents with a digital photo, thumbprints and important information pertaining to your child. The Missing Children Center does not keep the thumbprints, information or photo on file. The card is to remain in the parent's wallet at all times. In the event of your child being missing or lost, (for example in a mall) the "KID PRINTS" card would aid security and police in finding your child. A simple physical description of your child may be misleading, it could be describing a lot of children in the same area at that moment. Time is critical when your child is missing. When you're upset it is difficult to think clearly and the "KID PRINTS" card eliminates the need to remember important details.

Facts:

	The single most important tool in finding missing children is a current photograph.
	In 2001 there were 50,864 missing children reported missing in the state of Florida alone.
	There are over 4,000 missing children in the state of Florida at any given time.
	Having your child fingerprinted and photographed will NOT prevent them from becoming missing, it is only a precaution.
	Fingerprints are an invaluable tool to law enforcement should your child become missing.

Special Thank You:

We would like to recognize the McKesson Foundation for being the sole sponsor of the "KID PRINTS" program. The McKesson Foundation presented us with a grant which was used to purchase all the equipment and supplies needed to start the program. The McKesson Foundation will forever be a part of the Missing Children Center and all of it's work!

A special Thank You to Florida State Fraternal Congress and Florida Fraternal Insurance Counselors for the purchase and donation of additional equipment. Your help and concern for keeping children safe is greatly appreciated.
