Success By 6 Safety Day
KSBW invites you and your family to the Val Strough Cypress Coast Automotive Group "Children's Safety Day". Join us Saturday, August 23rd, 2008 10:30am – 3:30pm at Cypress Coast Ford Lincoln Mercury 4 Geary Plaza, Seaside CA 93955 In the Brand New Seaside Auto Center. KSBW and the Val Strough Cypress Coast Automotive Group are proud partners in "Success By 6" our project with the United Way.
Biometrics is the newest and most advanced technology available today for obtaining fingerprints. We are privileged to be able to use the same equipment presently used by Federal Agencies, Law Enforcement, and the US Military. Law Enforcement know that time is critical in the recovery of a missing child. The Biometric Technology our program brings to parents allows their child’s fingerprints to be immediately submitted into the FBI Database as soon as they are reported missing. When the child’s fingerprints are entered into the FBI Database, the fingerprints become immediately available to all law enforcement agencies throughout the United States.
There is no data basing: After each child goes through the line, parents are handed a Child Safety Journal (which contains the Biometric Fingerprints and Digital Photo) and a DNA Kit. The DNA Kit contains detailed instructions on how to use the DNA Kit at home. The only record of the visit is handed to you to take home: The event sponsor keeps no records on file. You will also be given John Walsh’s Child Safety Tips. All the information provided at this Child Safety Program is recommended by child safety experts and law enforcement officials to be updated every 6 months.

In an effort to help all children live more productive lives, KSBW-TV in 2001 launched a comprehensive media campaign entitled Success By 6. This is a community-wide, early childhood initiative, led by The United Way of Monterey County, The United Way of Santa Cruz County and KSBW-TV, supported by Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, Val Strough Cypress Coast Automotive Group, Bay Federal Credit Union, and Central Coast Pediatric Dental Group.
This alliance of leading businesses on the Central Coast and KSBW-TV strives to raise awareness within the community of the importance for all children by the age of six to have the support to gain the mental, physical, social and emotional foundation they will need to become productive members of society. The first six years of a child's life are critical in determining future success. The community effort of Success By 6 develops strategies for early prevention and intervention.
KSBW-TV, Val Strough Cypress Coast Automotive Group, Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, Bay Federal Credit Union, and Central Coast Pediatric Group play an important role in furthering the three primary goals of the campaign: building community awareness of the need to give every child a fair start in life; providing information regarding available services for children and families; and presenting a united voice for children.
