*Beta* Child recovery system

I have a continuing commitment to our youth, child abduction is rare in our community, all the more reason for us to be prepared for such a thing.  I am going to create a storage base. Digital information about out children will be stored under the strictest confidential security. Yet easily accessible by law enforcement agencies for immediate information such as:

1. A current digital image in natural settings.

2. Height, weight and distinguishing marks. 

3. Health history and medication.

4. Habits, friends and useful information about the child.

5. Any and all other digital information that could assist law enforcement in a speedy recovery.

 

To see how well received this idea is, A. Please share this test with all parents you know of.  B. Do not send any info about your child at this time as I need to investigate the proper issues in putting such information to use. But I always finish what I start out to do.

Please share your thoughts by email   billy@hickorylocator.com

How to search the Web

The Kids & Teens search box

All you have to do is to enter a few words in the search form field above (the one marked "Search the Web"). Then click on the "Go!" button.

If you want to use another search engine you click on the "double arrow" near the word "Select". Move your cursor (the mouse pointer) down until you find the search engine you want to use.

Easy ways to better web searching

search help for kidsIt is better to enter two or three words than just one. If you want to find stuff about African elephants in Zoos, it's better to enter the words african elephants zoo than elephants only.

If you want to make sure that the word you are looking for really is on the Web pages the search engine find for you, put a + sign in front of the word, like this: +elephant There should be no space between the + and the word.

If you want to take make sure that you do not get pages about Indian elephants, you may ask the search engine to remove pages that have the word indian on them. You can do this by adding a - (minus sign) in front of the word, like this: -indian. This is risky, though, you will for instance loose all pages that has stuff about African elephants in Indian zoos!

If you are searching for a person or a term with many words, you may put double quotation marks in front of and after the words, like this: "Britney Spears". In this way you won't get all the pages on the Web that has the word spears on them, or pages about Britney Smith (whoever that is).
