LATHAM, N.Y. – Congressman Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.) recently joined with credit unions from the New York State Credit Union League’s Utica-Rome District at GPO FCU to demonstrate and promote the National Child Identification program, as well as help distribute the program’s ID kits. According to the National Child Identification Program, more than 800,000 children are reported missing each year as runaways or as the result of abduction by strangers or family members. That’s one child every 40 seconds. The National Child Identification program uses inkless fingerprint kits that allow parents to take and store their child’s fingerprints in their own home. Since 1997, more than 14 million of the ID kits have been distributed. Boehlert commended Utica-Rome credit unions for offering the National ID program free of charge.
