Summer Family Vacation Tip
by Monica Watt 17 May '24

17 May '24

I read this in an article and thought it was a good tip that should be shared. This happened on a busy day at a Florida beach. The sheriff’s office added, "Any time you take your kids to a crowded location, consider taking a photo of them in their current outfits so if the unthinkable occurs — your child is lost — they can be located as quickly as possible." *https://people.com/deputy-comforts-young-girl-who-got-separated-from-her-mom-at-the-beach-8649489 <https://people.com/deputy-comforts-young-girl-who-got-separated-from-her-mo…>* Monica Watt c: 412.818.4702 e: monicawatt931(a)gmail.com
