   Examples of the Face/Child Identification CardThe purpose of this website is to inform parents, caregivers, and educators on the type of photos they need to have on hand in case of a child abduction. Currently child identification photos have a place for only one photo. According to websites such as The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children parents should have a photo similar to a school photo togive to the police or FBI in case their child is missing or abducted. BUT, ask yourself this question: If a child has been abducted and someone in the public sees this child with the perpetrator taking him/her from point A to B, and if this child has been physically and/or sexually abused, would a person be able to identify this child from a school photo where he/she appears happy and clean? Probably Not! I recently conducted a study and found that adults have better face recognition of a child if the photo of the child's face is similar in appearance as when they saw the child in public. Therefore, parents and caregivers need to have two types of photos available at all times for the police and FBI. They need two pictures of the child: one of the child clean and happy (like a school photo) and another of the child dirty (like after playing hard), hair messy, and not smiling. I am in the process of developing this website to offer Face/Child Identification Cards available for the public to purchase.
