Many parents appreciate the peace of mind that comes with their children wearing the ID On Me bracelet, especially when traveling. Even when a lost or injured child is identified, contacting family members can be a slow and difficult process.
1,315,600 children were missing from their caregivers during 1999 (OJJDP, 2002). That is over 3600 missing children every day, one every 24 seconds . Of these, 797,500 were reported missing to the police or other agencies, and 198,000 were lost or injured.
Every day, more than 39,000 children are injured seriously enough to require medical treatment, more than 14 million children each year (National SAFE KIDS Campaign, 2002).
ID On Me can also contribute to the safety of children by providing an effective tool to identify medical conditions and facilitate emergency treatment, including situations requiring authorization for treatment of minors or special needs individuals. The bracelet compartment also provides extra protection by concealing confidential information from casual view. |
