Today, to help observe National Missing
Children’s Day, we’re launching a new version of our Child ID App built
specifically for Android mobile phones. The application can be downloaded for
free from the Android Apps section of Google Play.
The Child ID App, first released in
August 2011 for iPhones, provides parents with an easy way to electronically
store pictures and vital information about their children in case they go
missing—whether it’s a toddler wandering away at the mall or a teen who has
been snatched by a stranger.
Using the app, you can show pictures of
your kids and provide physical identifiers such as height and weight to
security or police officers on the spot. You can also quickly and easily e-mail
the information to authorities with a few clicks. The app also includes tips on
keeping children safe as well as specific guidance on what to do in those first
few crucial hours after a child goes missing.
To date, the iPhone version of the app
has been downloaded more than 121,000 times.
