There is almost no parent who does not know this, the whole family goes to the municipal Independence Day stages together with a crowd of thousands, and suddenly the child, disappears from the field of vision, real anxiety, the announcer announces his name on the stage and everyone mobilizes to search.
So starting this year, this is going to change, in a number of leading cities in Israel, Rishon Lezion, Netanya, Herzliya and Kfar Saba, kindergartens have started handing out identification bracelets with the parents' contact information.
Raz Kinstlich - Mayor of Rishon Lezion described it well: "As a father of 3 small children, every time we go out to spend time with the children in a crowded place - I am under pressure and fear. You must know the pressure we are under, that they might get lost and disappear from us That's why, on the eve of Independence Day this year, we launched a new initiative of bracelets that will be distributed in kindergartens and that will help us all celebrate with a little more peace of mind and calmness.
On these bracelets, you need to fill in your child's name and your contact phone number, in case they need to look for you.
You will put the bracelets on the children's wrists on Independence Day before you go on stage, so if God forbid they get lost, along with the positions that will be scattered around the stages to locate parents, the bracelet will make it possible to locate you and your child easily and efficiently."
Is the child lost?
