Fingerprinting your child.

One more thought came to mind from a Rescuer's / recovery specialist point of view after a disaster. 

ARE YOUR KIDS, GRAND KIDS FINGERPRINTED? IF NOT, WHY NOT?
PLEASE DO IT TODAY.  

If your child was a victim of today's horrible attack in Boston, and all a rescuer found was a piece of a child's finger or hand, this may be the only way to identify your child. Or if he/she is badly burned other then dental records, do it today please. Pass this on. 

Wash and dry your child's hands. Take an ink pad, ink up their fingers, press the inked fingers on a clean piece of computer printer paper. Next go to a second piece of paper and do it again. The first removes most of the ink. The second piece should give us a clean finger print showing the loops, arches, wurls, that we need to identify a print.  

Next attach a face photo of the child (current) and a side photo showing the CHILD's EAR. (THis is a must). Each ear is diffent from person to person. If your child is ever kidnapped, then we can match up their photo from security cameras at the bus station, airports, train station, hotels, where ever a child is reported after an amber alert.  

If your child is a victim of a natural disaster or man made disaster then this will help us id him/her. You should make three original print cards each year. One stays with you. One with the child's other parent. The other is kept with your family or your spouse, partner's family in case you all disappear.  

You can get a free finger print id kit by writing to me at sardogk91@aol.com or through your local police dept.

Thank You.
