Child Safety Concerns: Kidnapping is a U.S. epidemic

My Safe Child.Com

Our Mission

The Child Shield, U.S.A.™ mission is twofold. Our primary goal is to reduce the alarming numbers of lost, missing, abducted, and runaway children in America. To that end, our child safety program provides parents with an array of easy-to-follow educational materials that will empower their children with important knowledge that can help to prevent a tragedy. This proactive, educational part of the Child Shield, U.S.A. service features our unique "Safety Seven Poster" and "Play It Safe" Coloring Book. These materials provide ongoing reinforcement and help children to retain the important safety information they've learned from our "Guide To Safer Children".

The second goal of Child Shield, U.S.A.™ is to offer victim parents and law enforcement agencies a "one stop source" for immediate assistance in distributing information that is vital to the recovery effort. Whenever a Child Shield, U.S.A.™ -registered child becomes missing; we are prepared to act immediately by providing both local and far-reaching assistance to the child's family and to the police agency handling the investigation.

Upon being notified of a child's disappearance, Child Shield, U.S.A.™ will contact the investigating police department and offer assistance by duplicating videotapes and posters bearing the child's image and distributing them to their choice of destinations from our unique database of over sixteen-thousand resources. Our database includes every State Missing Children's Clearinghouse in America, state and local police departments, sheriffs' offices, coroners, child support enforcement agencies, airport and harbor police, missing children's organizations, and nationally syndicated and network television programs. Additionally, Child Shield, U.S.A.™ will send videotapes and posters to any other destinations the investigating authorities may request. All at no cost to the family or the police.

Our facilities enable us to duplicate more than one hundred identification videotapes and more than four hundred posters per hour. Within minutes of Child Shield, U.S.A.™ being notified of a disappearance, the missing child's videotape and poster can be on their way to forty-five State Missing Children's Clearinghouses across America, the State Police in those states without a clearinghouse, and the FBI. With the same speed, we can also provide videotapes and posters to a variety of other agencies and the production departments of scores of nationally-syndicated and network television programs. Child Shield, U.S.A.™ can also post full-color high-resolution missing child posters on its website on the Internet. This allows a missing child's poster to be downloaded and printed by law enforcement agencies and others across America (and the World) within minutes of the child's disappearance.

We at Child Shield, U.S.A.™ are always upgrading our database by identifying an securing additional law enforcement and media contacts in order that we may even better serve the needs of America's children and their parents in the coming months and years. Our Commitment to stay on the leading edge of technology will have us providing video images, posters, and other data on missing children to more and more destinations with even greater speed and efficiency.

Unfortunately, the people who would do our children harm have become pretty smart. We just plan to stay a little smarter.
