David McDavid promotes child safety
Also offering Biometric Fingerprinting & DNA identification to Plano families
From Staff Reports
It’s a situation that no parent ever wants to be a part of, but a child goes missing every 40 seconds in the United States. With more than 600,000 registered sex offenders in the country, time is critical when a child goes missing.
Biometrics is currently used by federal agencies, law enforcement and the United States Military as the newest and most advanced technology available today for obtaining fingerprints. The biometric technology allows parents to submit their child’s fingerprints to the FBI database as soon as the child is reported missing. When the child’s fingerprints are entered into the FBI database, the fingerprints become immediately available to all law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S.
The LifePrint Child Safety Event will provide parents with free Biometric fingerprinting, a high-resolution full color digital photograph of the child, a free child safety journal (which will provide law enforcement officials with all the necessary vital information about the child) and a take-home DNA identification kit to keep.

" Fear mongering indeed, the greater portion of missing children are due to being runaways, or abductions by a non-custodial parent or relative. Sex offenders are an easy target to hand the blame on. If you want facts, go to the Centers for Disease Control web site and research it there. Preying on and instilling fear into the public is disgusting. Almost as disgusting as a sex crime. "

Fear-mongering? 90% or more of all cases where children go missing, is not due to sex offenders, like you are leading people to believe. Most are runaways, or kidnapped by their own parents. Why don't you show those facts?
Although, this is a good idea. "
