<<< As for identification of youth, perhaps a token secured to the
youths clothing, belt would be a neat idea. A wooden token with the
child and parent guardian painted, inscribed, burned or laminated on
the token would be a good idea. I would be happy to help design and
manufacture them. >>>
Dogtags also seem to work well -- there are printing machines at
places like Walmart and Petsmart, and you can let your kids chose the
design ( military dogtags, hearts, 'dog' dogtags, whatever ). Perhaps
not exactly period, but they're easy to keep track of and seem to be
harder for kids to accidentally lose.

Please do not advocate putting this information anywhere visible. I realize
that this is supposed to be for safety reasons but my mundane children +
safety training says to avoid putting the child's name on their clothing
where it can be read by anyone. The reason for this is that anyone wishing
to do a child harm gains confidence in the child when they can address them
by name. I would like to think that this wouldn't happen here but as we
unfortunately have all seen, it can happen anywhere.

The information does not have to openly visible. However, upon
request from a constable, the child must be able to immediately
present the identification. A few suggestions can be a lamented card
placed in the child's pouch or military style dog tags that could be
worn beneath the child's clothes. I have found quite a few websites
that offer different style of identification materials for a
reasonable price. If you are interested in any of these sites, please
contact me at joycereitor at gmail.com and I will gladly forward them to
you.

There have been several parents who embroider the information inside a little flap at the back neckline of their child - this worked wonderfully!!
