Masonic Child ID Program "Masonic CHIP"
Provided under the jurisdiction of the
Grand Lodge of Florida
Protecting children is our mission free of charge thru Video interview, digital fingerprinting, still photos, DNA swab, and other information provided by parents. None of which is held by us, but provided to the parents should the need arise to use it by authorities.
Over 800 thousand children are reported missing in the United States each year, meaning one every 40 seconds. That is scary! There is typically over a two hour delay in making the initial missing child report, and the majority of the abducted children who are murdered are dead within three hours of the abduction. There are estimated to be about 100 cases per year in the US where a child is abducted and murdered. The victims of these cases are "average" children, leading normal lives, and living with normal families, typical low-risk victims. The majority of them are girls, with the average age being slightly over 11 years of age. In 80% of cases, the initial contact between the victim and killer is within 1/4 mile of the victim's residence.
