Parents can now take an extra step to protect their children from kidnapping and other threats.

Operation Kidsafe, a child safety center, opened April 26 at 18478 Kuykendahl Road, Spring. The mobile center will be at this location for one year, and it provides children with Amber Alert-ready safety cards.

The cards contain the child's 10 digital fingerprints and a headshot, which are captured on-site and can be handed to law enforcement in a family emergency.

Safety tips are provided on the back of the form so parents can start a family safety action plan. 832-698-4002. www.overonemillionkids.com
