Lost little boy, calling all moms! A Giveaway

In about 1995-1996 my husband and I took our kids to a city carnival in Hampton, Virginia. We had four little ones with one on the way.

Devon, our 3 year old, was quite a unique child. He didn't talk much, and what he did say was not understandable to even his parents most of the time. But he was an active child. With an independent streak.

At some point we realized that Devon was not with us anymore. There were thousands of people milling around, and I was terrified. We searched and searched, heading in different directions and circling around to meet back up. But we didn't want to waste time so within 5 minutes we contacted the police that were walking around.

Devon would not be able to tell anyone who he was, who his parents were, where he lived, nothing of value. And what if he was kidnapped?

My heart was racing and I was near hysterics. Suddenly we saw him exiting the Fun House. They let him on with no adult and no ticket! Ugh!

We didn't have cell phones back then, they were still pretty rare.

But now most people do have a cell phone. And wouldn't it be nice if you could be reached to be told your child was found?

Two summers ago at the State Fair in MN I found a little girl crying for her parents. I didn't know how we'd ever find out who they were and hook them back up. Eventually we had to bring her to security and hope for the best.

Do you know what could have saved that family the agony of looking for their child?

A simple temporary tattoo with a cell phone number to call. You could be reunited quickly with your lost child, and they don't even have to be old enough to know your name isn't really "Mommy" or to know your phone number.

Tottoos.org got their idea because on wanting to help a lost little girl. The owners have 5 children, and they understand parents desire to keep children safe.

When I heard of their product I contacted them and begged them to let me do a giveaway of their product because I believe this is such and amazing and needed idea. Thankfully they didn't think I was a psycho stalker and agreed to let me give away a Basic Package of Tottoos, which are 15 tottoos and removing wipes, a $14.95 value. There are two lines of customizing you can use. If you have another need you can do a medical needs package instead. Those would be great if you have a child who has a serious food allergy and is going to a party or to school with people who may not know or pay attention. Tattoo their hand and be at ease!
