Escape School sets up during Oakwood Centenial

OAKWOOD - A part of Oakwood's Centennial celebration Saturday involved making sure children can be found if they are lost.

Little- Davenport Funeral Home set up its community services tent and offered its "Escape School" program which included tips to avoid kidnapping as well as prevention and escape techniques.

Counselor Billy Hendrix was busy finger printing children, whose prints are turned over to their parents.

"This particular program we're doing actually stays with the family in case there is an abduction or the child gets lost," Hendrix said.

"This information can be given to law enforcement."

Hendrik said the finger printing was free of charge.

He estimated sixty children were finger printed during the Oakwood Centennial celebration.
