Guard a Kid

Hollywood Florida is on high alert after two attempted abductions of teen girls.  The sketch of the attempted abductor is posted and anyone with information should contact the authorities.  Police ask anyone with information about the incidents to call Hollywood Police at 954-967-HELP (4357) or Broward County Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-TIPS (8477).

Suspect in Attempted Abductions

These attempted abductions underscore the risk of all children including teens.  As children become more mobile (able to walk to and from school, the bus stop, friend’s homes, etc) it is increasingly more important that parents consider their child’s safety.

Did you know that the FBI receives well over 2000 missing children reports daily?!?   In the United States, a-child goes missing every 40 seconds.   Recent statistics show that your child has  1 in 42 chance of going missing.

Parents in the Hollywood Florida area are turning to their schools and officials for answers and safety.  Child identification programs are being scheduled at schools from Pre-K through 12th grade to ensure that parents have everything they need should their child ever go missing.

Think about the last time you could not find your child even for a few seconds.  That panic is only magnified when those seconds become minutes.  It is essential you have the information law enforcement needs to begin a search. The first hour is the most critical hour.

In addition to child safety kits, child gps products are flying off the shelves as parents want to know where there children are at all times.
