Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares was in Manassas today, Thursday, May 25, 2023, to discuss a new plan to give child ID kids to middle school students.
The kits are part of the National Child ID Program and contain places to hold identifiable information about a child, including a photo, DNA, and fingerprints if a child goes missing. The children will be instructed to take the kids home to their parents.
"This is like fire insurance. You will only give this to the authorities if the unthinkable happens," said Miyares, during a press conference at Grace E. Metz Middle School in Manassas.
