The Safety Net Child
Identification Kit provides comprehensive safety information that adults can keep on hand for emergencies. This is a complete
kit that you can provide to law enforcement in the event that your child becomes missing.
The Safety Net Id Program Kit Includes:
A DNA Collection Swab and A DNA Storage Bag.
DNA is a key
element of what families should have on hand for their children’s identification. DNA has become the “gold standard”
for all identification matters. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
strongly encourages parents and guardians to take a DNA sample of their children as a safety measure in case their children
become missing. Because our company feels that no one else should have access to your child's DNA we do not swab children
in schools or daycares. This Kit includes a professional sterile DNA collection swab, parental instructions and a DNA storage
envelope so your child’s DNA can be recorded safely and accurately by you, at home!
A Recent Photograph.
Families should
have current photographs of their children. The photograph should be a full-face shot in color, and capture the way children
really look. Photographs should be taken at least once per year, (more often for younger children). When our company presents
a safety program in schools and daycares we do take a 4 x 6 size photograph that will be included in your kit at no additional
charge.
A Fingerprinting Chart including all ten fingers.
Fingerprints
can be taken by parents but it is strongly recommended to be taken by a trained professional and recorded on a paper stock
that will be usable for loading into the FBI’s National Crime Information Center, if your child should become missing.
Our fingerprinting service is also offered in schools and daycares at no additional cost to parents.
Physical Characteristics Chart.
Parents and guardians should also have a written description of their children. The
description should include: Hair color; Eye color; Weight; Height; Date of Birth; and any unique physical attributes such
as eyeglasses, braces, or piercing. This is information you will fill out to complete your kit at home.
A Dental Chart.
Dental X-rays, dental
charting, and bite impressions are all useful in making identifications. Parents and guardians should update dental charts
every 1- 2 years until children are 18. The Safety Net Kit provides space for parents to do their own dental charting. It
may also be possible to have your child's dentist fill out this portion of the Safety Net Kit.
Child Safety Tips.
Effective child-safety
programs are ones children will enjoy, understand, and ultimately help to change children’s behavior. The fundamental
idea of prevention education is that children with self-confidence, grounded in safety competence and high self-esteem, are
less vulnerable targets for victimization. All of our kit items come packaged in a clear re-closable bag for safe storage
all in one place in the event that you need your recovery materials quickly.
Additional Information
Our Child Id Kit also includes tips on fingerprinting your child at home. It gives complete
and professional instructions in the event that you are ordering kits for children that we will not reach through a school
program. Such as babies and teenagers. The kits can be just as effective even if you must gather the information yourself.
Remember all children from birth to 18 years of age should have the protection of the Safety Net Child Id Program on file
in your home.
