Nationwide child ID program-Ford & UAW teamed up to make it bigger

Ford Motor Co., the United Auto Workers and the American Football Coaches Association are teamed up to help the whole country and donating more than 200,000 inkless fingerprints identification kits to families

The kits will store the identification records and information of children via their fingerprints and this will help in case of any emergency like kidnapping or runaway children. The fingerprints will be put into national crime database which will help in finding the missing kids. As it is reported that annually more than 450,000 children run away and approx 50.000 got kidnapped.

The kits will be free and will be supplied to all UAW-Ford employees and the AFCA’s National Child Identification Program. 60,000 kits will go to Detroit Public Schools.

University head coach of Wayne State, Brady Hoke head coach of Michigan University attended the press event on Monday to support this Ford-UAW program. The AFCA started the National Child Identification Program in 1997 and has distributed more than 32 million kits already which is an honorable thing.
