Now that the summer break is here and families are starting to travel it is important to think about child safety. Vacation time means crowded hotel resorts, amusement parks, and beaches. But what to do when a child gets lost–keeping in mind that most families are away from home and children are not familiar with the new places.

Dateline TV and Joel Salads recently published social experiments on stranger danger and put kids to the test. Results were shocking and eye opening. Are parents not preparing their children enough for the unthinkable situation of child abduction, sexual abuse, or assault? Most parents are unsure when it is the right age to speak about this topic with their children. That's why SmartKidsID would like to emphasize the need for parents to verbalize this topic with their children as early as possible. It is important to increase the child's awareness of situations that possibly could make them feel uncomfortable and build up a child's confidence in how to handle those situations with strangers or people they know. It is very important to clarify that possible predators are not necessarily strangers, but can also be relatives and people that children might have met before (i.e. people that came to the house before for any reason).

Any parent can tell that within a split-second one can completely lose sight of a child. Especially when visiting crowded places like amusement parks or busy shopping malls this just doubles-up on a parent's biggest fear. But it is not unlikely that it happens - in fact it happens hundreds of times a day at amusement parks all over the world.

According to information from the FBI a child goes missing every 40 seconds in the U.S, over 2,100 per day. In excess of 800,000 children are reported missing each year. Another 500,000 go missing without ever being reported.

Parents of children with special needs have so much to worry about and are constantly facing extra challenges and situations no one had thought even existed.

With Halloween around the corner it is a great opportunity to remind parents to think about child safety. While Trick-Or-Treating means dark and crowded streets, it just takes a split second to get separated. Parents should be prepared and have their children worn a SmartKidsID Id Bracelet. Here is a short video on how easy it is to reunite a lost child with SmartKidsID: SmartKidsID Video
