What is Our Child Safe™?
The Our Child Safe™ is a secure, first-response safety registry. It allows parents the opportunity to incorporate all pertinent information needed by local law enforcement to initiate an appropriate response for any emergency situation, including an Amber Alert, should a child go missing.
The medical database allows emergency and well child information to be stored. Parents are able to take a few quiet moments in the privacy of their own home to gather the necessary information, to be ready to immediately provide that information to local law enforcement, medical personnel, or caregivers saving critical time should an emergency situation occur or updated information is required.
Why should I use Our Child Safe™?
The most compelling reason Our Child Safe™ can share, is when conducting research with parents whose children had gone missing, the universal feeling expressed by all the parents was regret for not having the required information available immediately for law enforcement, wasting precious minutes. Additionally, in a medical emergency caregivers can get data where it needs to go specific to that child immediately. Regardless of geography, race, religion, age or economic situation, those parents are concerned about one thing, saving time in a situation where every minute could be the difference between a positive and negative outcome.
With the additional utility of having medical and personal information recorded, you don’t ever have to worry about the paperwork being on hand for a parent or caregiver, as the information can be retrieved wherever there is Internet access, updated at any time.
How does Our Child Safe™ work?
Our Child Safe™ is a secure online, encrypted, password protected database that is accessible immediately by parents, caregivers, law enforcement or medical personnel whenever you need it.
How effective is Our Child Safe™?
Our Child Safe™ is the most effective way for a parent to be secure in knowing they have taken every available precaution to minimize precious minutes in case of an emergency. Our Child Safe™ allows for immediate access by a parent or law enforcement, saving critical minutes, in which the Justice Department statistics state usually takes between two and four hours for a parent to provide authorities the required information in a format usable to initiate an alert.
For children with a medical need, getting that information to medical personnel immediately can have great impact on treatment and care for that child.
How effective is Amber Alert?
Amber Alert has successfully recovered over 400 children. It continues to provide the only nationwide alert system. With the assistance of parents and Our Child Safe™, the number of successful recoveries is sure to increase substantially.
Can I register more than one child at a time?
You're able to register as many loved ones as needed. Your first child is registered for $19.95. Each additional child within that family is $4.95.
This is an annual fee. You can update and utilize the information as often as you need to at no additional charge.
Is my information private (secure) online?
Your information could not be more secure. Our Child Safe™ utilizes state-of-the-art security features in addition to the same SSL encryption used by organizations, like NASA, USPS, Microsoft, IBM, Novell, Oracle, and
Kaiser Permanente. The Our Child Safe™ does not ask for home addresses or social security numbers of either you or your child as that information is not required to initiate a search or to medically treat your child.
How often should I update my child’s profile?
Our Child Safe™ will send an email on your child’s or children’s birthday reminding you to update photos. Our Child Safe™ believes, that unless there has been a substantial change in appearance, twice a year should suffice to edit your child's profile. For infants and toddlers, (age 0-3 years) law enforcement recommends to parents, to update photos as necessary. With the Our Child Safe™, parents have full control over their child's profile.
How long does it take to download my file?
Your file can be downloaded immediately. Your child’s profile is presented in a Windows-based format and is accessible from any internet connected computer. In addition, the file can be emailed to any email addressee (i.e. law enforcement) desired.
How do I change my password?
Changing your password is easy. Just utilize the change password button.
What if I forget my password?
If you forget your password, simply go here to request your password from Our Child Safe™ using the same email you provided when you set up your account.
What are the criteria for triggering an Amber Alert?

What if I’m not near a computer?
It will never be necessary for a parent or guardian to be near a computer, other than for the initial set up of your child’s profile. You should direct local law enforcement or medical personnel to access the Our Child Safe™ website, www.OurChildSafe.com (if for some reason they are not already connected). Just provide authorities your username and password to allow them to immediately access the information. Remember, this is an emergency; after an incident is resolved successfully, you can change your password.
At what age should I register my child with Our Child Safe™?
You should register your child immediately to Our Child Safe™ for proactive parenting. The utility of Our Child Safe™ extends from a newborn child through to college-aged teens who spend much time away from their parents, or who may attend school or work in a different city.
What happenes if I’m outside the U.S.?
Our Child Safe™ is international. If you are outside the U.S. the same process is utilized. Because we are international, responsible and caring parents from all over the world have registered their children with us. Our Child Safe™ is a worldwide resource, missing children and medical emergencies, as we have all witnessed, happen everywhere.
Just having the information on hand – especially if you travel without your children, can mean you can be proactive in their care wherever you may be.
Can I cancel an Alert once it’s been made?
Law enforcement initiates and cancels Alerts. Our Child Safe™ makes their job easier and your loved ones safety a priority.
Our Child Safe family thanks you again for being a thoughtful and caring parent, grandparent or guardian!
