About Keeping Kids Safe
Keeping Kids Safe is a non profit (501)3(c) agency established by Ann Harris and Mike O'Neal in 2008. Their mission is to bring together resources for parents, schools and child caregivers to help keep children safe. In addition to providing valuable information, Keeping Kids Safe also offers educational presentations, Child ID Kits, Smart ID Sticks and other advanced safety products - all valuable tools in keeping our kids safe.
Additionally, Keeping Kids Safe offers meaningful School Fundraiser Programs. These programs outperform most fundraisers while simultaneously supporting another worthy cause - the safety of our children.
About the Founder
Michael O'Neal, the founder and C.E.O. of Keeping Kids Safe, has been in Law Enforcement for over seventeen years. He has served in the U.S. Army as a Military Police Officer and is currently a part time Patrol Deputy Sheriff. In addition, Michael is also an instructor of Kid Escape, from John Hall, which teaches children the Grip, Dip, and Spin technique that could save their lives. He also teaches various other child-friendly video programs. Michael created Keeping Kids Safe when his young daughter came home with an inadequate I.D. that simply displayed a picture on a high-gloss piece of paper that the parents had to fill out the back of. After talking with parents, he found that less than 5% actually filled out the back. He became even more determined to protect our children when he found all of his friend's daughter's personal information on myspace.com. That's when Michael saw the need for Keeping Kids Safe.
