Quick Tip for Locating a Missing Child

Although a tracking locator device is the best way to find a wandering child, you may as yet be undecided as to whether to invest the technology that can help them.  However, if you already own have a digital camera, or a cell phone equipped with a camera, then here is a tip that you can implement now to help in the event that your child goes missing.

Each time you go out to an unfamiliar area, or a crowded place, or anywhere where there is a possibility that your child may inadvertantly become lost and separated from you, then take a digital picture early on.  Not a close-up, or an action shot, but a simple picture of the child from head to toe while facing the camera.  There is no need for anybody, including the child, to know the reason why you are taking the picture.

The idea is that you will have the most recent picture of the child wearing the exact clothes that he or she was wearing before they wandered.  You can then show this picture, rather than having to describe details (and maybe forgetting something vital) to people who may be able to help.  As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
