'If I¿m Lost' bracelet helps reunite lost children with family

(WOFL FOX 35) - Child Rescue Network has partnered with Sticky Jewelry to offer a bracelet that helps to quickly reunite a lost child with his or her parents should they become separated.

The bracelet, which is designed to be worn by a young child at all times, is engraved on the front with the message If I’m Lost Call the Number on Back. The reverse side is engraved with the parents phone number, usually a cell phone number, so that a person wanting to help a lost child can contact a family member quickly and easily.

"The bracelet is wonderful in its simplicity," said Jeff Griesemer, Founder and President of Child Rescue Network. "When used in combination with a program of child safety education and proper parental supervision, these bracelets will help to insure the speedy return of a lost child to his or her parents."

Griesemer added that the most common emotion that occurs when a child wanders away from his parents is panic, both on the part of the child and the parents, and that's where proper training can help. "Many parents fear that their child will fall victim to a stranger," said Griesemer, "but most strangers want to help a lost child if given the chance." Child Rescue Network's safety program teaches children to remain in the spot where they first realized they're lost. If a stranger approaches, they're to ask the stranger to sit with them until their parent returns. And, if the child is wearing an engraved safety id bracelet, he or she can ask the stranger to call the cell phone number on the back of their bracelet.

The Sticky Jewelry safety bracelet includes a pre-engraved surgical stainless steel plaque and a nylon/polyester strap with snap/lock clasp. The straps are colorfast and washable, and come in 21 different fun designs that appeal to young children. Each plaque depicts the Child Rescue Network logo, and is custom engraved with a parent’s phone number on the back. The cost of the bracelet with one line of custom engraving is just under $21.
