Child safety fair Wednesday
NORWICH – According National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, every day over 2,000 children are reported missing.
This harsh statistic serves as a call to build awareness, form organizations and promote a proactive approach to keeping children safe in today’s society.
Law enforcement agencies, in conjunction with local college students from Morrisville State College in Norwich, are coming together Wednesday to hold a “Child Safety Fair” meant to teach parents about other childhood safety measures.
Students from the Early Childhood and Criminal Justice programs, along with representatives from the New York State Troopers and the Chenango County Sheriff’s Department, will be on hand for the safety fair from 2 to 6 p.m., Wednesday at the college campus on Conkey Avenue.
Ivory Gonzalez, a Criminal Justice student and mother of four, originally thought of having a “Child ID Day,” as a means of protecting children while promoting the Criminal Justice program and completing her required class project, said Criminal Justice instructor, Dr. Clare Armstrong-Seward.
“When Ivory presented the project to her classmates, it grew to into a safety fair as additional students in the Criminal Justice program and students enrolled in the Early Childhood program wanted to support the event,” said Seward.
The instructor said the student’s efforts included contacting the Sheriff’s Department to conduct a Child Safety Seat Check, gathering additional safety information and developing activities for children as they are waiting to have their picture taken or be fingerprinted.
Additional students supporting the event have included: Brianne Hansen, Mary McKeraghan, Julie Shapiro, Amber Whitehill, and Mike Nemitz.
Troopers will be on hand to provide fingerprinting and facial imaging. Upon parental consent, the child’s information will be entered into the state database, which will be stored in case an emergency, such as an Amber Alert.
The Chenango County Sheriff’s Department agreed to be on-site as well to check and secure child seats in vehicles. There will be a limited number of free replacement seats available.
Safety information for children will be available during fingerprinting and the car seat safety check. Parents are encouraged to bring children who have been previously photographed and printed because a child’s appearance changes as the child matures.
According to the Seward, “both the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police are highly supportive of not only this effort but the new criminal justice degree.”
This event is free and open to the public. For questions or more information call Morrisville State College at 334-5144.
