I now have a new advertiser on my blog page. The advertiser is Instant Amber. Instant Amber offers to store information about your children and make it available to the authorities in case of an emergency involving your child or children.I have not promoted them a great deal until today. I received an email from them and it contained some interesting statistics. I have included them below:
According to the Department of Justice, nearly 1 million children are reported missing each year in the United States. That means a child goes missing every 40 seconds, more than 2,100 per day. There is a 1 in 42 chance that a child will go missing before the age of 19. Finding a child within the first three hours could mean the difference between life and death. According to John Walsh, founder of National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), acting within the first 20 minutes following a disappearance is absolutely critical as “the chances of safely recovering a child are much greater within the first few hours immediately following a child abduction.”
InstantAmber provides critical data and photos to law enforcement in a fraction of the time of existing products, increasing the odds of successfully recovering a missing child. Law enforcement agencies need specific information in order to start the process of finding a missing child: recent photographs, name, date of birth, height, weight, unique personal identifiers such as eyeglasses and braces. In a state of panic, parents often cannot recall all of the information needed and rarely have access to a recent photo.If you have a child or grandchild please consider this service.
