CARTHAGE, Mo. —
Although attendance for this year’s Missouri Child Identification Program wasn’t as high as it was last year, more than two score kids chomped down on dental wafers and scanned their fingerprints this Saturday at Grace Episcopal Church.
The program is a comprehensive child identification and protection program designed to provide families a proactive means of preparation should their child or teen become missing. Every parent who brought his or her child to Saturday’s event walked away with a complete packet containing digital fingerprints, digital photos, emergency identification information and a dental impression containing scent and DNA evidence.
Larry Ross, a member of the Carthage Masonic Lodge, said 53 kids participated in Saturday’s event. Last year, more than 100 local kids participated in the event.
The MoCHIP program is sponsored by the Grand Masonic Lodge of Missouri.
