For every parent who couldn't find their child in the mall, at the beach or Disneyland even for just one gut-wrenching second, the FBI has a new App. And it's Free!
The new application provided by the FBI stores detailed information on children, including current pictures, so that in case a child is lost, the information is available on one's cell phone and can also be quickly emailed to law enforcement.
The app that stores identifying information about a child, including a current picture.
The app is easily downloaded through the app store on iPhone and will soon become available on other sorts of cell phones, according to a press release issued by the FBI.
The new app stores the child's name, birthdate, address, guardian information, telephone numbers of parents or guardians, height weight, hair and eye color, ethnicity, identifying characteristics and perhaps most important, a picture.
Once the short bio is completed, the app allows one to take an iPhone picture of the child. There is no option for using a stored picture. Make sure to keep this photo updated.
I hope you or I never have to use this app but better prepared than sorry.
There is also tips for parents of missing children during the first 12 & 24 hours. Great idea, I know I would be such a mess there is no way I would be thinking straight and this is a easy go to advice from the FBI no less.
