The FBI is sharing tips on how to keep kids safe, especially during the upcoming break from school when parents may seek outside care for their children.
The Seattle Division webpage has links to tips parents might find helpful when finding outside care; tips caregivers might want to consider when hiring employees; a guide for parents on Internet safety; and other information about how the FBI combats child abduction and exploitation.
The FBI has three Child Exploitation Task Forces (CETFs) in western Washington, which work to decrease the vulnerability of children to sexual exploitation, provide a rapid investigative response to crimes against children, and enhance the capabilities of state and local law enforcement agencies.
The Child ID app is the first mobile application created by the FBI. It provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and vital information about one’s children so that it’s literally right at hand if needed. In the unlikely event that one’s child goes missing, the app helps security and police officers in their immediate search efforts. The app also includes tips on keeping children safe as well as specific guidance on what to do in those first few crucial hours after a child goes missing.
