JENNIFER GODFREY NAMED FRANCHISEE FOR DIGIKIDS® CHILD ID SAFETY SERVICE
In response to the more than 2,000 missing children reported in the United
States each day, DIGIKIDS® offers
a Child Safety CD that allows parents to quickly provide law enforcement
officials, the media, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
(NCMEC) and other agencies with two high-resolution digital photos along
with medical and identifying information to aid in recovery efforts.
BRADENTON, Florida - January 13, 2006 –
Jennifer Godfrey, homemaker, mother and retail administrative support
assistant, has been awarded the exclusive DIGIKIDS® child
ID franchise for the entire Manatee County area, announced Michael J.
Childs, president.
DIGIKIDS® offers a Child Safety CD that allows parents to quickly provide
law enforcement officials, the media, the National Center for Missing &
Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other agencies with two high-resolution
digital photos along with medical and identifying information to aid in
recovery efforts.
“I was looking for a franchise opportunity to develop, operate and maintain
a home-based business that would be rewarding and satisfying, as well as
profitable. DIGIKIDS® not only offers me that opportunity but also the
chance to help parents like me with a valuable service that I can really
believe in,” said Godfrey. “I feel DIGIKIDS is the perfect fit for the
growing community in which we live.”.
Godfrey has been recognized by her longtime employer with numerous accolades
for her energy and contribution, including three times for the prestigious
“Florida’s Leading Achiever” award.
Offered through schools, preschools, churches, summer camps and other public
events, DIGIKIDS® delivers its
secure Child ID kits on site in two minutes or less. The cost to enroll each
child is only $15.95.
“Jennifer Godfrey represents the ideal person to endorse and support our
services,” said Michael Childs. “We are proud to welcome her to the growing
DIGIKIDS® family of franchisees.”
According to the NCMEC, acting within the first 20 minutes of a child’s
disappearance is critical. By using the easily carried business card-sized
CD ROM, parents are equipped to distribute pre-formatted flyers and posters,
complete with high-resolution photos and last-minute identifying details,
anywhere in the world via internet e-mail.
“The electronic delivery to law enforcement officials of a child’s digitized
photo can save crucial time, since the chances of safely recovering a child
are much greater with the first few hours immediately following a child’s
disappearance,” explains John Walsh, founder of NCMEC.
With its patent-pending technology to create each Child Safety CD, DIGIKIDS®
offers parents anywhere a secure and efficient tool that can help speed the
return of lost or missing children.
Beyond typical child identity programs that provide only an ID card, the
DIGIKIDS® CD enables parents to make a speedy and comprehensive worldwide
distribution of critical identifying information using any PC with a CD-ROM
drive. Each emergency e-mail and attachments are sent through a dedicated,
secure network. DIGIKIDS® does not create or maintain a central database,
guaranteeing security and privacy.
Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, DIGIKIDS® presents and supports its
services nationally through independent franchisees. In addition to schools
and preschools, DIGIKIDS® ability to produce the Child ID kits on site in 2
minutes or less affords a perfect opportunity for any local business wishing
to sponsor a DIGIKIDS® safety event as a means of giving back to the local
community or its employees.
