My Lost Child

Last Friday evening, my 6.5 year old son got lost in the woods
behind our house. I want to tell you what happened, what I did and
what I learned. The important points are at the top, with the full
story following.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
 
1. Call the police immediately. They are much calmer and
knowledgeable about what to do in these situations.
 
2. Have current photos PRINTED out. I know in this new digital camera
age that a lot of people get behind in printing photos. Get in
the practice of printing out at least one photo of your child every
month. When a child is lost you don't want to be digging in the
computer at that moment. I know digital would be helpful if we had
to send it out in an Amber alert. But a printed photo for the police
to look at was helpful.
 
3. Know your child's height and weight. I was so glad I had our
Wallet ID product. Because I could give an accurate height and weight
for my child. You can do this any number of ways that cost you
nothing. But if you need something to make you get it done and
organize everything in one place, our Wallet ID Kit (5 cards for
$10.00) http://www.chicksandcubs.com/safety.htm#walletid
