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

Why Parents Are Using Facial Scanning for Loved Ones

November 05, 20244 min read

The anxiety of "what if?" is a familiar feeling for parents and caregivers. What if they wander off at the park? What if they slip away in a busy store? The fear of losing a child or an elderly parent is a terrifying scenario that too many families have faced, but what if there was a way to reduce that fear—before it even happens?

It’s an awful truth, but losing track of a child or senior parent in a public place can happen in seconds. According to the FBI, a child goes missing in the United States every 40 to 90 seconds, which is about 765,000 children per year. But now, parents are using an innovative solution—facial scanning technology—to protect their loved ones in crowded environments, offering both peace of mind and a proactive safety measure. 

With the My Family ID Facial Scanning App, you’re giving yourself the tools to act fast. Imagine the relief of knowing your loved one’s face is instantly identifiable through a system designed to alert authorities and others around you when a person goes missing. This isn’t just a tool—it’s a lifeline in moments when every second counts.


Why Parents Are Turning to Facial Scanning for Loved Ones’ Safety

Most parents and caregivers live with the recurring worry that they won’t be able to act quickly enough if the unthinkable happens. We tend to react to emergencies, but what if you could act before it even becomes one? Facial scanning is no longer something you see in futuristic movies—it’s here now, and it’s being used by everyday families who want to make sure the people they care about are always within reach.

Facial scanning technology, like that used in the My Family ID app, gives you the ability to protect your loved ones in an instant. By storing their digital profile, including biometric facial features, you create a safeguard that can help authorities act faster. This proactive approach gives you a sense of control in an unpredictable world.

Benefits of Facial Scanning for Loved Ones

  • Rapid Identification: In the event of a disappearance, facial scanning technology can quickly alert authorities and the public, increasing the chances of a swift recovery.

  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that your loved one’s face is instantly identifiable can provide a sense of reassurance and reduce anxiety.

  • Proactive Safety Measure: Facial scanning serves as a preventive measure, helping to deter potential abductors or individuals with malicious intent.

  • Easy to Use: The My Family ID app is designed to be user-friendly, making it simple for parents and caregivers to create profiles and share information.
