Securachild.com

My worst nightmare is that my children go missing. Point blank, I can't think of anything worst. I take all necessary measures to prevent it from ever happening and pray daily for their safety. But the what if's drive me crazy. We've all heard the horror stories and also the celebration stories of safe returns. We all pray for the celebrations. As a parent, what would I do? I would want immediate action, a plan to spread the news far and wide so my babies would return safely as soon as possible. We thankfully live in in the day of fast/wide spread communication, but in your state of panic, would you know how to act on it?

When I recently learned of SecuraChild.com it sparked a definite interest. Securachild.com's mission is to help parents find their missing children faster. They say that seconds after parents upload a missing child report, SecuraChild.com notifies a vast network of social media sites to aid in the search. The missing children statistics are astounding. Did you know that every 40 seconds somene's son or daughter are reported missing. That is 2,160 missing children A DAY or approximately 800,000 children in the US a year. SecuraChild.com offers the latest advancement in combining the powerful forces of social media networks with emails and texts.

SecureaChild.com offers free accounts that can be created ahead of time with minimum identifying information given. The site is safe and secure and fully encrypted and each account is assured secured information. If a child ever goes missing, a parent can quickly log on and provide basic information as to the missing child's attire, etc. Securachild.com then quickly broadcasts the information to thousands. In addition, once a child is reported missing, Secureachild.com will immediately email out to the parents a PDF package that parents can insantly provide to law enforcement to expedite the process.

If God forbid the unthinkable happens, it would be nearly impossible to remain calm and think rationally. It's nice to think that something can be created ahead of time, prepared and ready to roll out if the need arises. I would encourage all parents to review this site. I'm all about being prepared and I think this site might offer some good assistance should the worst occur.
