New Child Safety Service for Parents
Most parents know about AMBER Alert, which is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation agencies, and the wireless industry. AMBER Alert is used to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. Since it’s inception, it’s facilitated hundreds of successful recoveries. However, the partnership does have some limitations. Parents don’t get to control of when and how the information is distributed, and only a limited amount of information can be communicated to law enforcement agencies.
When a child goes missing, one of the most important things that need to happen is the dissemination of information about the child — images, identifiable information, medical details, etc… However, that’s also one of the most difficult things for panic-stricken parents to put together in a short amount of time. Furthermore, if the abduction takes place away from home, like on a vacation, access to key information and pictures may not be easily accessible.
That’s where a new service called InstantAmber comes in. InstantAmber is an online service that helps you privately and securely manage and store information about your children. That information includes relationships, known adult contacts, hangouts, possible destinations, pictures and much more. In the unfortunate event of an abduction, parents can instantly push this vital information to local, state, and federal authorities, instantly and securely. InstantAmber also lets parents create PDF flyers of their missing child with a click of a button. Then they can print them out and post them or email them friends, family, media and law enforcement.
I think I’d be more worried about storing all that information online. Then again, I’m paranoid.
This might be good to do and store on a jump drive in the safe, but I would not store it on-line. I too am a tad paranoid.
We all bank online and don’t think twice. The site seems to employ state-of-the-art security features, so I feel the benefits outweigh any risk. It seems that their point is accessibility and speed, and a jump drive in a safe would negate those features. I’m signing up!
Besides creating a unique and useful child safety system, security is and always will be priority number #1 with InstantAmber. We created the system with a top notch professional development team well versed in online security.
Time is essential when locating and recovering a missing child. The problem with storing everything on a jumpdrive is time and location. What if you are shopping or traveling out of town and your child goes missing. You may have left the drive at home but if it is with you the data then needs to get in the hands of law enforcement.
With InstantAmber you can give law enforcement instant SECURE access to you child’s information and pictures so they get to work finding your child.
