Periodically, I’m sent information on new products that the companies would like me to post about. Sometimes I feel compelled to do so, sometimes I don’t. Last week, I received information about SecuraChild, and I thought the information was important enough to pass on.
SecuraChild is a free Internet-based service that allows parents to create accounts and save profiles on each of their children that they can print out for police with details that can be hard to recall under stress (like height, weight, etc.
The best part is that parents can log in and submit a missing child notice that is broadcast over Facebook, Twitter and the SecuraChild network (members of the network receive a text and email missing child alert message) notifying hundreds of potential searchers that the child is missing in mere seconds. This is especially important because every 40 seconds, in the United States, someone’s son or daughter goes missing, but only a fraction of those children are eligible to have a traditional Amber Alert issued for them, since the circumstances of their disappearance do not lead officials to believe they are in life-threatening danger.
