With the number of child tragedies that are increasing dramatically, school systems, child welfare agencies and law enforcement agencies are now putting together measures in place to identify, track and protect our children. One of the prominent measures rapidly being adopted to help keep children safe is the electronic capture of children's biometrics and storing them in a safe place with the parents. This stored biometrics can provide a very effective tool for law-enforcement authority in case of any misfortunate accident of missing.

Biometric Technology is also used to enhance security measures and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing daycare and school facilities. Many day-care facilities have turned to access-control systems powered by biometrics to achieve a high level of security and to ensure that only eligible parents and their children have access to the facility .
