PLEASE Register Your Child For A FREE Amber Alert Child ID !!!

*UPDATED: Apparently I was misinformed and the Big E is not doing the Amber Alert event in the CT building this year! But you can still use the following information to get this down at your local police department!

I wanted to make everyone aware of the Amber Alert Child ID Project. Bring your child to your local police department or Amber Alert Event and register them for FREE and receive a free child ID card. If you would like any additional cards, it is $2.00 each and that money is a donation that goes directly into the Amber accounts. I have been doing this with Aubrey the past two years and it is an amazing service that I will be using again soon to update her information.

• There are 159 non-family (stranger) child abductions per day. That is 1 child, every 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
• 74% of children were abducted and later found murdered were killed within 3 hours.                                                                                                               (Source - United States Justice Department) 

As parents, we NEVER want to ever have to use this service. No one wants anything bad to happen to their child. Yet it is important to take any steps necessary to put the appropriate measures in place ahead of time. (Just in case) God forbid anything ever happened to a child, if they were already registered with this program, by a simple push of a button, their information would be out everywhere, INSTANTLY.  That is incredible and could save a life. Time is everything in these cases.

Aubrey's First Card at 2 Months Old!

I keep Aubrey's Amber alert card on hand and in a lockbox I have an additional safety kit filled out with her fingerprints. I pray to God nothing happens to anyone's child or mine everyday but please be a proactive parent and take these precautions. You would be doing such a great thing for the safety of your child.

At an event/police station you will fill out a pertinent information form, your child will be measured and weighed, and a digital photo will be taken of them. This is the only program where you can hand over the card with your unique ID to law enforcement as soon as a child is discovered missing.

Please share and pass this information along. I'm sure there are many parents that do not realize this service exists! Please make it a point!

What is the AMBER Alert Safe Child ID Project?
It is a voluntary program for all children under the age of 18. Parents/Guardian of participating children receive a wallet sized, plastic card with a picture of the child, a unique AMBER ID number and only minimal, yet essential information needed to identify the child. This information is stored in a secure data base. This card can be presented to law enforcement in the event a child is abducted. The information can be transmitted to law enforcement and to the public via Television, Radio and Traffic Signs. This assists law enforcement by providing additional eyes of the public to look for the vehicle and occupants listed in the alert.
