It's not hard for a child to get distracted and wander away from a parent in a park or crowded area. Kids' ID kits aid parents in the recovery of their child by immediately providing law enforcement with a complete identification record. The ID kits contain information including a photo, birth date and other important information such as medical conditions. - Check out the McGruff Safe Kids ID. This kit comes with fingerprint ink and a card to take your child's fingerprints. It also contains safety tips to discuss with your children including Internet safety. Instructions on collecting your child's DNA are also included.
