Why My Family ID is Essential For Your Family’s Safety

”One of the most amazing features is that there’s facial recognition. And there’s also a spot where you put the little kids’ fingerprints. [...] If somebody is taking your kid across the border, [authorities] already have all the information right there on the app that they can see.”

– Karen O’Bren Havourd

”I actually have a father with Alzheimer’s right now. This is the perfect application to store his fingerprints, recent photos, and facial recognition scans, which can then get out to the authorities, stores or places that that have CCTV. We can actually do a search through their systems to help us see if he wandered into a store.”

– Greg Fagan

The fear of a missing child is a deep-seated concern for parents, caregivers, and child protection organizations. But with the rise of new technology, it’s now possible to be prepared for the unthinkable. 

My Family ID is the app that aids in searches for missing children by offering families a proactive way to document their child’s information, ensuring families are equipped with everything they need to assist authorities immediately.

Why Preparation Matters

For organizations dedicated to preventing these situations, equipping parents with a tool like My Family ID can make all the difference.
