DNA Child Identification Kits
Fingerprints and photos may not be enough to identify missing children. In Albert Lea, Minnesota, the police are encouraging parents to include DNA kits. Parents should prepare the following in case of child abduction:
- DNA swabs either using GenetiKid DNA Kits or homemade ones kept in the freezer.
- A copy of the child’s fingerprints
- A hair including the root
- A current photo, ideally no more than one month old
May you and your family never have any need for these items.

The same information could be useful for identifying missing adults as well, such as those affected by Alzheimer’s disease. […]

Hello;
I am interested in these child dna test kits for home use and child identification. How is your market for the sale of these kits? I can help your marketing if you will drop ship. Please let me know by e-mail if you are interested and then I will call you to set up the arrangement.
Thank you
LT
