BOOK MARK THIS SITE for child safety and health updates.
CHIP is a program that every parent should avail themselves of. It consists of collecting data that can be used by law enforcement to locate and identify children if they get lost or are abducted.
There are several components:
1) Toothprint - the child bites into a softened wafer-like material. In doing so they leave an impression of their teeth and saliva/DNA, which can be used by scent tracing tracking dogs and law enforement for identification.
2) Video - a brief video is taken to capture a child's speaking habits, appearance, and mannerisms.
3) Fingerprints - fingerprints are the oldest and reliable methods of identification
Sponsored by the Freemasons, 15 states have adapted this program. It is endorsed by many law enforement agencies, including the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and several state dental societies and teaching groups.
