What's the point in this app? Surely most mothers/fathers have pictures of their kids on their phone these days anyway

  After the July 4 mass shooting a 2 year old was found wondering the scene unattended. He was safely returned to relatives. Sure I have pictures of my kids but am I alive to display them? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62047223 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62047223

    A lot of people have social media, or send photos to their family. My wife and myself send photos of our baby to close relatives across the country all the time. I know every situation is different though. It's an unmaintained app is another issue.

    Doesn't that demonstrate the app isn't needed?

    Who is going to unlock your phone to open the app when you are dead?

        From some of the photos of the scene, that's... not gonna work on some of the victims.

    > Sure I have pictures of my kids but am I alive to display them? So how does this app help?

  The same reason the government produces actually half decent financial literacy courses aimed from kids to adults. The same reason the CDC has instructions on how to brush your teeth. The same reason why the FDA will literally give you cooking tips for peas. There is some class of people out there who don't understand or aren't capable and the government is acting as a gap filler.
