KidCare Project On September 21, 2002, during the United Way's Super Saturday celebration in downtown Stroudsburg, the Young Lawyers Division (YLD) of the Monroe County Bar Association, in cooperation with the Stroud Area Regional Police, provided parents with over 110 free photo identification booklets for their children. This effort was part of the national Project KidCare, a program that was developed jointly by Polaroid Corporation and the National Center for missing and Exploited Children. Attorney Nicholas C. Haros, President of the YLD, remarked, "With this summer's rash of child abductions, it is more important than ever for parents to keep personal safely documents for their children. A KidCare Photo ID booklet provides authorities with a crucial tool in helping recover a missing child.: The Photo ID Booklets, which were developed with input from law enforcement officials, doctors and health officials, will provide parents with a high quality color photograph of the child as well as the child‰s historical and descriptive information. The booklets also include directions on how to be prepared in case of an emergency and "Seven Rules for Safety", which should be reviewed regularly with the child. Additionally, Detective Bill Parrish and Officer Doug Weiss created fingerprint records for the parents. |
