Codes to aid in search for missing children

The Laura Recovery Center is now using QR codes to help find missing children.

Beginning today, the LRC will include a QR code on every missing child flyer to help distribute the information to a wider net of people.  

A QR code is a two dimensional bar code, but when combined with a smart phone the Code can direct the phone to a related website.  When the QR Code on an LRC flyer is scanned by a smart phone, the QR Code will direct the phone's user to a web page that can be used to E-mail and fax that missing child's flyer.

The use of QR Codes on LRC flyers is another way that the Laura Recovery Center is working to keep our children safe.  Other resources for parents include a free on-line missing child flyer creation page at www.MyFlyer.org, a free on-line child ID page at www.MyChildID.org, and helpful tips on twitter at www.twitter.com/SmartKidsATE.

The Laura Recovery Center is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that was founded in Laura Smither's memory. The Center focuses on education, search and prevention in the area of missing children, has offered free abduction prevention programs to over 200,000 children throughout the greater Houston area.
