Child Safety Identification Profile

DNA has become the "gold standard" for all identification matters.

DNA is a key element of what families should have on hand for their children's identification. Like fingerprints and dentition, DNA will not help find a missing child but is used to identify someone.

NCMEC strongly encourages parents and guardians to take a DNA sample of their children as a precautionary measure in case their children become missing. No one should store DNA except parents and guardians."

We are posting this notice about a young girl missing from Nutley, NJ, because we received a request from njville.com to assist in their efforts. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Taylor and we pray for her safe and speedy return.
