As families prepare to attend the Middle Tennessee District Fair this week, Lawrence County E-911 has shared important safety tips for those bringing young children. One of their key recommendations is to take a recent photograph of your child before leaving home. This image can be invaluable in the event that your child becomes separated from you, as it provides first responders with an accurate representation of what your child is wearing at that moment.
In addition to capturing a photo, the agency advises parents to write their phone number on their child’s wrist. This simple step can facilitate quick communication should the need arise. To ensure that the number remains legible and does not wear off, parents can protect it with a liquid bandage or clear tape. By following these precautions, families can enhance their safety and enjoy the fair with greater peace of mind.
