You Have Another Chance To Protect Your Child

If you have children, you often consider them your most precious treasures. And as most people do, you try your very hardest to protect your most precious treasures, no matter what they are...your car, your home, your bank accounts, your family.
Well, you have another chance to protect your child.
The Moultrie-Colquitt County Library System and the Georgia Child Identification Program (GACHIP) will team up once again to provide a public safety event to protect children.
The event will be held at the Doerun Municipal Library, 185 North Freeman Street in Doerun, on Saturday, May 2, from 11 a.m.
to 3 p.m.
Last Saturday, April 25, approximately 40 children were processed at the Moultrie Library in four hours.
The GACHIP is free of charge to the public and offers a valuable tool for parents or guardians of a child, as well as police, media, and the Amber Alert Program.
Each child progresses through several stations taking about 10 to 15 minutes for the entire process. A small computer disk includes full color digital photographs of the child, a complete set of digital fingerprints, dental impression, information about the child and a laminated ID card. The disk will also provide contact information for parents or guardians.
All the identifying information collected at the event about the child is given to the child's family. GACHIP retains nothing but the permission slip that must be signed prior to participation. All other data is permanently erased after the child's document is prepared. Privacy is the number one criteria.
So! You have another chance to protect your child. This Saturday, May 2, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., in Doerun at the Municipal Library at 185 North Freeman Street.
It's a smart thing to do. You'll never be sorry you took the time.
