Im only 15 but i have two young nieces, another older one, and plenty of little cousins, and i love children, this is a wounderful idea!! im glad there are people who care about our children enough to through themselves at a task like this one, i hear about these poor kids all the time and it makes me really upset. Mad or sad, jail doesnt suit a person who comits the crime of hurting a child.

What a great idea that could really help save lives. Mike and Deb are doing a fantastic job of helping to get the word out. Everyone should have an emergency sticker and help save a life.

Awesome service, Wish this sticker was available a few years ago, when,as a truck driver I involved in a 'rollover' This sticker would have provided immediate access to medical and contact information. Thanks ABC Channel 6 for a great job. I had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful EIS team in Houston, Tx and I am now on a mission to spread the good news across the country.

  • HA! No, they're going to chase their tails and point fingers and get nothing done. Business as usual.
  • I think some progress can be made. It's going to take some painful cuts and creativity, but we can do this.
