WHO SHOULD I REGISTER? Infants, Children, Teens and College Students. Children who spend time away from home: Playing with friends, sports, activities, camping, jogging, biking or away at school or a University. Children who travel to family members Nationally and Internationally. Who will they call and how will they find you if an accident occurs? If you can’t answer this question with confidence, perhaps you should consider NOKR. Who will communicate for your child if they cant?
	WHY Should I register my child in the NOKR? In the United States, about 30 million children and teens participate in some form of organized sport. According to the National SAFE KIDS campaign, more than 3.5 million children ages 14 and under receive medical treatment for sports injuries each year. The majority of these injuries are from falls, collisions, overexertion or being struck by an object, and they usually occur during unorganized or informal sports activities.
Injuries are a major source of childhood emergency department and hospital admissions. Accident statistics from the National Safety Council, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control and other sources tell us that: Injury is the leading cause of death in children over 1 year of age. Dogs bite more than 4.7 million people each year.
The course of information below is not meant to worry you. This is factual data that indicates children are at risk and we should take the necessary precautions to safe guard them. Children are the future of tomorrow. Forty percent of all child injuries happen to children over 5 years old? As children get older, parents naturally assume their child is less susceptible to danger. After all, older children should know better than to stick dangerous items in their mouths, right? The truth is that a child's curiosity level does not decrease with age. Make sure small, dangerous items are out of reach of children and never leave your child unattended. Ref: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) an independent, not-for-profit product-safety testing and certification organization.   In the United States during 2007, approximately 220,000 children ages 14 years and younger were injured as occupants in motor vehicle crashes. That’s an average of 602 injuries each day (NHTSA 2007a).               Ref: National Center for Injury Prevention and Control Bicycles are associated with more childhood injuries than any other consumer product except the automobile. More than 70 percent of children ages 5 to 14 (27.7 million) ride bicycles.   In 2007, nearly 288,900 children ages 14 and under were treated in hospital emergency rooms for bicycle-related injuries.   Children ages 14 and under are five times more likely to be injured in a bicycle-related crash than older riders.              Ref: National SAFE KIDS Campaign (NSKC).  Bicycle Injury Fact Sheet.  Washington (DC): NSKC, 2004. Does NOKR fit in with the Amber Alert? The Amber Alert is a critical missing child response program that utilizes the resources of law enforcement and media to notify the public when children are kidnapped by predators.   By using NOKR you are utilizing a proactive tool that allows you to store information to include a photo of your child that could later be used by authorities at a moments notice to help find your child. How safe is the information collected? The information provided is collected on a secure registration page inside a SSL (Secure Socket Layer), and then it is transferred encrypted into a secure archiving area. SSL is a protocol that allows for secure online transactions. SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system from RSA, which also includes the use of a digital certificate. Who can access this information? Only Local and State Agencies that are authorized through the NOKR system can access the information you have securely stored.
