BOSTON — The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced Thursday that it is offering a Child ID application for parents that can be downloaded free from the iTunes App Store.
Special Agent in Charge Richard DesLauriers of the FBI’s Boston Division is notifying Maine parents that the smartphone application enables users to store vital information and photos of their child for easy dissemination in an emergency.
The app was simply designed to input a child’s critical information: eye color, height and weight, physical traits and photographs. The app allows parents to email a child’s photo and physical characteristics immediately to law enforcement officials, DesLauriers said. With the click of a button the information automatically turns into an email to be sent to authorities.
“As with any crime, especially those committed against children, time is our adversary,” DesLauriers said. “Every second, every minute, every hour counts in locating a child and bringing them home safely.
“With the use of technology today, the Child ID App will assist parents in quickly providing their child’s identifiable information to law enforcement officials,” he said.
The app also includes tips on keeping children safe as well as specific guidance on what to do in the first few crucial hours after a child goes missing. Additional resources, such as links to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the National Child Identification Program, help educate parents further in the event the unthinkable should occur, the FBI said in a news release.
Currently, the app is available only to iPhone users but DesLauriers said it will be available for other smartphones this year. The FBI said it does not collect or store data from the app, which is password-protected and subject to Apple’s own iPhone security standards.

I see no down side to this, but a simple computer document,
or saving the information on an email draft and attaching a photo
accomplishes the same things.
So if you like the idea, don’t wait.
I suspect their are a few smart parents left in Maine who have not forgotten about the Boston FBI Office collaborating in the murder of over 20 women and men with Whitey Bulger and other Boston Crime families.
This Bangor Daily News Informercial for the FBI is nothing more than that a infomercial.
Instead of running stories on how to police our own communities the BDN supports one of New England’s deadliest crime familes, the FBI.
Here is a partial arrest record of FBI agents arrested for pedophilia. Emphasis on the word partial.
Yea I bet very special FBI agent Dickie De Sauliers is interested in the welfare of your children LOL

Two daughters of former state and federal law enforcement official Edward Rodgers were awarded $2.319,400 yesterday, after a Denver judge and jury found that the women suffered years of abuse at the hands of their father.
The award to Sharon Simone, 45, and Susan Hammond, 44, followed testimony of Rodgers’ four daughters in person or through depositions, describing repeated physical abuse and sexual assaults by their father from 1944 through 1965.
Rodgers, 72, who became a child abuse expert after retiring from the FBI and joining the colorado Springs DA’s office, failed to appear for the trial. But in a deposition taken in March, Rodgers denied ever hitting or sexually abusing his children.
