The Michigan Child Identification Program....is a lodge-based community action initiative sponsored, scheduled and organized by the Michigan Masons through the Grand Lodge of Michigan.
At a Michigan Child ID Event, the Masons set up the equipment and enlist the volunteers necessary to generate individual completed child identification packages that are given to a child’s parent or guardian to take home for safe keeping (we keep nothing but a permission form).
It is the responsibility of the parents to then provide the package to law enforcement, if their child becomes missing, as an aid to recover their child.
Each child progresses through the several stations of the event (it takes about 10-15 minutes) generating an identifying item at each station and placing them in his or her package.
Parents are reminded to take the package with them on trips and vacations (it does no good leaving it home) as it can be immediately provided to authorities to aid in the recovery of a child that is missing or presumed abducted.
A completed Child ID Kit consists of a dental impression that provides DNA and dog scenting as well. A CD containing all of the child’s vital information along with digital fingerprints, a still photo and an audio / video session are also provided
