New ToolsOnce again advances in technology have brought us a new tool to help keep our children safe. The extreme miniaturization of cell phone and GPS technology has made possible GPS tracking devices small enough to easily fit in a pocket, yet still provide excellent satellite reception and cellular network connectivity.

Increased production of these awesome devices has made them available at reasonable prices. We can't put a price on our children's safety, but when we come across a product that works this well and is stil affordable for the average family, we just have to share the good news. We recently had the opportunity to do extensive testing of some of these devices in real world scenarios, and we're so impressed we're working with the distributor to bring you unique Hornbeck Foundation branded devices to enhance you child's safety.

We're also revaming our FREE MyID4Life Kidz Kardz program to make it even easier for you to obtain an ID card for your children. Soon you will be able to simply upload your child's photo to our secure website, fill out a small form with information about the child, then click print. Your card will be prepared and on its way to you within 72 hours!

The campaign will kickoff locally in November, 2009 and regionally soon thereafter. The Akers Family and the Shawn Hornbeck Foundation are finalizing the new initiative to provide no cost public service announcements (PSAs) to any US media outlet seeking to promote child safety through broadcast of the PSAs.
