Get Your Child’s Fingerprints, Photo and DNA Free Saturday
November 11th, 2009 by josh farleyThe thought of anyone’s child going missing is unconscionable. Yet it seems in this day and age, anything a parent can do to help safeguard their children from such an event is worth doing.
On Saturday, Peninsula Subraru hosts “The DNA Lifeprint Child Safety Event.” Put simply, you can take your children and get their digital fingerprints, a photo and a home DNA identification kit — all free of charge. All the items will be bundled into what’s called a child safety journal, which contains all the data law enforcement would need in the event the unthinkable happens.
The organizers note that none of the information is taken by authorities. It is for parents to keep. But should a child go missing, the information could be given to police and quickly added to a national database, greatly increasing the chances the child will come home safely.
The event is from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and there will even be free barbecue from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Peninsula Subaru is located at 3888 West Highway 16, in Gorst. For more information, call Steve Taylor and Gus Hillman at (800) 458-5808.
