SafetyNet4kids began in 2003 out of my need as a mother to protect my own children. My 8-year-old son disappeared from my side at a county fair. I quickly sought the help of the on-duty police officers to help me find him. The officers asked so many questions that I could not answer given my panic stricken state – I just wanted them to find him! Although he was only gone 15 minutes, it seemed like an eternity - especially with the mounting frustration that I was not prepared for this situation. I did not have all of my son’s information readily available that was needed to help in the search.

With an 11-year background in technology, I was sure I could purchase a high-tech solution to be better prepared should I be faced with this situation again. After much research and to my surprise, the only thing available at that time for parents was a laminated ID card with a picture. Certainly not what the police were looking for when my son was missing.

I consulted with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the FBI to see what information is most helpful in the recovery of a missing child. During my discussions with these agencies, I became increasingly troubled by the number of missing, abducted, and abused children in our country. I was frustrated because there did not seem to be a solution available designed specifically to truly help, protect, and recover missing children at the time of the crisis.

So my crusade began. I would develop a product myself that would better protect and increase the chances of safely recovering a missing children. SafetyNet4Kids was born – and we developed a state-of-the-art child safety solution that provides law enforcement with the information they need immediately when a child is missing in a format that is compatible with their systems.

Today, SafetyNet4kids has provided our products to over 15,000 parents; helping to give each family a better peace of mind. Our success would not have been possible without the guidance by God and the unwavering support of my husband and children.
