Local Brothers Trade Trucking Business for New DIGIKIDS® Child ID Franchise
In response to the more than 2,000 missing children reported in the United States each day, DIGIKIDS® recently unveiled its new Child ID Kit that allows parents to provide law enforcement officials, the media, the NCMEC and other agencies with two high-resolution photos along with medical and identifying information to aid in recovery efforts.
San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) March 11, 2005 -- Over the last 10 years, Brent and
Jentry Poss enjoyed most things about being co-owners of their locally operated
family trucking company, save for one small detail. They were not passionate
about it. Fast forward eight months, and these brothers are prepared to launch a
local business they are extremely passionate about, helping to protect the
children of this community through a very advanced Child ID franchise called
DIGIKIDS®.
In response to the more than 2,000 missing children reported
in the United States each day, DIGIKIDS® recently unveiled its new Child ID Kit
that allows parents to provide law enforcement officials, the media, the NCMEC
and other agencies with two high-resolution photos along with medical and
identifying information to aid in recovery efforts. According to the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), far too many parents are not
prepared to act in a missing child emergency. Most importantly, DIGIKIDS® Quick
Response™ software can get this vital information into the hands of authorities
anywhere in the world within minutes.
According to the NCMEC, acting
within the first 20 minutes following a disappearance is absolutely critical. By
utilizing DIGIKIDS® business card-sized CD-ROM (easily carried in a pocket or
purse) which operates in any PC with a CD-ROM drive, parents are only moments
away from distributing pre-formatted flyers and posters – complete with
high-resolution photos and last-minute details – anywhere in the world via
internet email. “The electronic delivery to law enforcement officials of a
child’s digitized photo can save crucial time, since the chances of safely
recovering a child are much greater within the first few hours immediately
following a child abduction,” says John Walsh, founder of the NCMEC
(NCMEC.org).”
Kate Kohl, Director of the local Heidi Search Center, knows
all too well the value of time in a missing child emergency, stating that
“DIGIKIDS® is the only Child ID I have ever seen that I would actually buy for my
children.”
Although the service is available through schools and
daycares, DIGIKIDS® ability to produce these ID’s on site in 2 minutes or less
affords a perfect opportunity for any local business wishing to sponsor a
DIGIKIDS® safety event as a means of giving back to the local community or its
employees. “At $15.95, we feel the program is affordable enough for every parent
to have, but we also are very proud to give $2.00 back to schools and charities,
such as the Heidi Search Center, for every kit we sell,” states Jentry Poss.
Their territory encompasses San Antonio, Austin, and eight other surrounding
counties.
