A potentially tragic situation ended safely this morning in Rockland County after a parent received a KIDO alert that their child had not been checked in at daycare.

In the rush of the morning, the child had unintentionally been left in the vehicle. The alert reached the parent in time, allowing them to return before the situation turned into an emergency.

With summer temperatures continuing to climb incidents like this are a reminder that even the most caring parents can make a heartbreaking mistake during a hectic morning. They are encouraging every daycare and playgroup to have a system in place that can provide an extra layer of protection.

This is the sixth child the KIDO system has helped protect this summer.

KIDO is proudly endorsed by Hatzolah and is currently providing free terminals to qualifying daycares and playgroups, helping remove the cost barrier for facilities that want to protect the children in their care.
