PARENTS PLEASE–have your children ID’d! Time is critical in recovery of a missing/abducted child or teen. Our Amber Alert compatible disk can have your child’s critical information out to the community from a police officers computer in minutes (details below).

Having your child ID’d CAN make the difference in his/her recovery if your child goes missing. Reports of missing and abducted children are becoming far too frequent—we implore you to be proactive—have your children ID’d.

Time is a huge factor in a positive outcome. Once a child goes through MoCHIP program the parent is armed with a single pre-printed envelope that instructs authorities in the event of an emergency, something a parent in crisis would undoubtedly have trouble with. Utilizing the Amber Alert compatible CD produced by the MoCHIP Program, a child’s vital information; photographs, fingerprints, height, weight, hair & eye color, birthmarks, medical conditions and more, the MoCHIP CD can be loaded into a computer directly from a police officer’s automobile within a matter of minutes and entered into the Amber Alert system.

No parent wants to believe that the unimaginable could happen to them, though nearly 2,000 children are reported missing or abducted in the United States each day. MoCHIP has been tested nine times in Missouri that we know of, with every one of those children returned home safely to their families. The peace of mind MoCHIP provides to Missouri families is invaluable. GIRLS and BOYS ages 11-21 are statistically most susceptible to become missing, and though we cannot release details on the recoveries, each of the eight children were between the ages of 11-21.

As would be expected, security and privacy are of utmost importance. All information and specimens are collected on site, processed and provided to the parent or legal guardian in a yellow envelope. At the end of each event, databases are erased using state-of-the-art software. The only item retained by the Masonic Children’s Foundation is the signed permission slip.

Whether it is our program or another, please have your children ID’d!
