A child safety kit designed to help law enforcement in the case of abduction and promoted by John Walsh, host of America's Most Wanted, will be offered free of charge to local families this Saturday.
The DNA Lifeprint Child Safety Event will include a new biometric fingerprinting and DNA sample kit for parents to keep on file in the event their child goes missing.
Biometrics is the most advanced technology available today for obtaining fingerprints and allows parents to submit their child's fingerprints to the FBI Database as soon as they are reported missing. When the child's fingerprints are entered into the FBI Database, the fingerprints become immediately available to all law enforcement agencies throughout the United States, according to the event's organizers.
Also included in the kit is a free high resolution color digital photo of your child and a Child Safety Journal, which provides law enforcement officials with all the vital information about your child that investigators require in a critical missing case.
Those who attend are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to support the local food bank.
For information about the event, call Zulma Rodriguez at 562-628-8800.

None of the information gathered at the event, which will be held at Dr. Stella Children's Dentistry in Long Beach, will be kept by the event organizers. Everything goes into a file that is given to the parent to keep at home.
The information is state-of-the-art and is recommended not only by Walsh but by the FBI and the US Department of Justice, according to the event organizers.
Those who attend are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to support the local food bank.
