Free children's photos
CHRISTIANSBURG - Parents can get free photographs of children at K-Mart in Christiansburg.
The KidCare Photo ID program is sponsored by K-Mart and the Christiansburg Jaycees and focuses on the national movement to create personal safety records for parents to aid them in the recovery of missing children.
The program was started by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and Polaroid Corp. as way to increase awareness about missing children and to educate parents about the steps they can take to help protect their children.
It is estimated that one in seven missing children are found because of a photograph distributed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The KidCare ID is an approved form of standard identification for children.
Parents can get their children's photo taken Sunday from noon to 3 p.m.
Members of the Jaycees will help weigh and measure children for their IDs.
