Child ID Kits

Many parents do not even like to think about Child ID Kits because it reminds them of what could happen- their child could be taken. Although the thought is scary, parents need to have the necessary information ready if the worst should happen. There are a variety of Child ID Kits you can choose from and we will explain the different items you will get or can add to your kit.

Your Child ID Kit should include recent photographs and the photographs should also be placed on a disk. Disks allow the media and police to quickly spread pictures around. You should also have your child’s fingerprints in a protective plastic sleeve; most ID kits will provide you the materials you need for fingerprints. If your child is old enough to go to the dentist ask for a dental chart and place the info in your kit. Make sure you know your child’s blood type and place this info and any other health-related issues in the ID kit. Some kits offer a DNA self collection kit; this can be very beneficial. The last thing you need in your Child ID Kit is a complete physical description of your child. The description should include your child’s height, weight, hair color, eye color, and any distinguishing marks such as scars or birthmarks. You can get your free child id kit from Registered Offenders List.
