(Submitted photo) Free tags carry important information Statistics show that one in five children will end up in an emergency room sometime this year. Almost all of them who are not with parents have none or incomplete emergency information, making more dif- ficult the performance of police, paramedics, emergency room nurses and doctors. Due to the fact that today's society is more mobile and that there are more work- ing and single parents, it is important for children to carry some type of emergency information with them at all times. Lifesaver Charities, a non-profit organiza- tion, has designed a small machine washable tag, a little larger than a postage stamp, which can be filled out by parents with an ordinary ball point pen and sewn in- to clothing or implemented in footwear.
