The same thing applies to entering other information such as height, weight, etc. With the app, you have all the details that you can immediately show the police on the spot when you report your child is missing. In addition to that, you can send the information stored in the Child ID app to the authorities.
The Child ID app also provides additional tips and practical information which every parent ought to read. Some may think that keeping your children safe is a no brainer, but advice from the experts is always welcome. There are also tips on the crucial steps that parents must take right after discovering that a child is missing.
