Five-year-old Madison Schwartzmiller likes to play on the swing set with friends Erin, Brianne and Kayla. She also knows her address and her telephone number. All this information, along with her favorite colors and the fact that the kindergarten student at Allison Elementary School in Chartiers-Houston School District has no favorite hiding spot in her house, are on a disc that has been sent home to her parents. The disc, along with a fingerprint card and DNA kit, are part of the Child Identification Program packet. Offered by the Pennsylvania Freemasons, in partnership with Crime Prevention Association of Pennsylvania, CHIP is in response to the alarming number of children reported missing across the United States.

Chartiers Township police took the video of the youngsters as they stood in front of a height chart.
