Standing in line waiting for the tram and a group with 3 little girls have all the girls arms marked with the parents phone number in huge writing covering there whole arm! Nice thick black sharpie!
Haha I've seen that before. Nice - DisneyVillainLover

Wow... Really?!?! - wicked50

Oh wow! I've done it but I did it so the t-shirt sleeves covered it. And I wouldn't use sharpie that's a pain to take off! - JenAnneWho
300.7 #609 8:57AM
that is a great idea... - Pixieliz
309.2 #566 8:58AM
Sharpie comes off quite easily with rubbing alcohol. - SergZak
3125.8 #13 8:58AM
Whoah. I usually just write it on the back of a button or on a tag inside the back of their shirt. - Polkadobo

Is that considered a bit much? We are going to put our info in a luggage tag and attatch that to our daughter. Maybe I should write our number on her arm. I'd hate to lose her then find out they couldnt find our info to contact us - kateluvskev

Let the kids wear a necklace or those silver bracelets that has all there info on it, I wear one cause of all my.allergies - DisneyVillain
355.8 #399 10:19AM
I like the idea of a necklace or bracelet! - LaPetiteSirene
400.5 #333 10:20AM
Hahaha never seen that - lvrxdealer
13.2 #5978 10:21AM
That's a bit much, but a good idea to put your contact info somewhere on your child - summergirl3

Nice - looking4pocahontas
102.7 #3001 11:10AM
To the parents: Thank you so much! - BaseballMickey_CM
2826.1 #16 11:14AM
That's funny! I like the luggage tag idea, you can rope it through her belt loop. But the sharpie sounds good too, if you use @Sergzak's alcohol idea to get it off. - LAFDWifey
81.5 #3258 11:14AM
Bad idea. Once I lose my little boy I don't want anyone calling me to try and return him (and they will return him ASAP!!) - Katrayher

@katrayher OMG lol he must be bad!! - LAFDWifey
81.5 #3258 11:20AM
@ Katrayer- lol
Too funny! - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint
1797.3 #42 11:21AM
My hubby and I were just joking about that last night! - TFDland
9.1 #7080 11:22AM
I guess they didnt think about necklace dog tags. Thats kinda crazy. - Fauna

I had an id bracelet as a kid. You used to be able to order them at school for less than 5 bucks. I needed it after getting off at the wrong bus stop twice in kindergarten. The first time, I let a stranger drive me home! Wherever you write the info, it should be somewhere they can't wash or take it off easily. - bluefairy
627.1 #174 11:29AM
A tattoo might be a good idea!!!! - Rob512
755.1 #134 11:33AM
Thats why I put it on their belly :) - LoveLove
345.9 #419 11:34AM
I wander if the sun will burn them in to the arms? - GoofyJoe
1864.1 #41 11:35AM
That's a better idea GJ. Cut it out in stickers and then apply it to their arms a few days before so they have a suntan of the numbers. Or better yet, tattoo or henna it on. - Polkadobo
372.1 #370 11:37AM
@lafdwifey and HMACIF He is!!! If you ever see us in line you'll understand!!! - Katrayher
739.0 #138 11:40AM
Yeah that's a bit much! A necklace or bracelet is a much better idea. The last time I was at the park I saw some kids had their info taped on a piece of paper on their back. That just seems very weird to have their personal info available for everyone to see. - ikabon

Coming from a parent who has actually lost a kid at DL it's a great idea!! I wrote on my son's tummy under his shirt though.. and I also took a picture of him before we left the house with his height, weight, hair and eye color on it and another of his shoes. I know it sounds silly but if someone kidnaps a child they normally don't change the shoes. - MissyluvsDisneyland
357.6 #395 12:43PM
I wrote it on the tummy also. That way people couldn't see it. - Nikkia2020

Actually it's a great idea!!!! Especially if someone has grabbed your child and takes off with them. It's easy to spot huge wrighting on a child's arm. Much to easy to take a necklace or tag off and/or hid it. - Ms.Mouseketeer
1000.8 #88 1:04PM
I do that with my 3 kids when we go. I found that the sharpie wore off in a couple hours, but regular pen lasted all day!! - BusterBunny
262.7 #889 1:38PM
pretty smart! if someone grabs them, they will still have this huge number showing. and it's easy to spot - Madi

I usually get a dog tag at Walmart. Then pin it to the inside of my sons shirt and tell him to show it to a CM. And he also wears a shoe identity tag. - vegasbrat

Stranger abductions are more rare than winning the lotto or being struck by lightning. Did the parents have them carry lightning rods too?
Sorry for the sarcasm but sadly I see parents do this at Disneyland where it's one of the safest places but not day to day in area where kids are much more likely to come into contact with threats.
Teach your kids their first and last name. And their phone number.
More importantly, pay attention to your kids, not with a leash, but with your eyes. Things happen quick and sadly people fail to act when seeing kids carried away whether they have numbers on their foreheads or not. Teach them to recognize danger and to make a heck of a fuss. Draw attention to what's going on.
Hope this makes some sense. Take care of your kids but teach them to take care of themselves. - unclebeezy

I've gotten stickers at city hall to write my info on and put them on the inside of their t-shirts. - Minnique

I personally thought it was a bit much, I also had the bracelet with all my info on it to me that a nicer way to do it, and fashionable lol idk it just looked weird to me first time I've ever seen it. - EvyJoBonCM
44.9 #3852 7:45PM
Whoaaa, crazy! I wonder how the kids look when they go to school w/ markings on their arms....?? - PrincessSarah
157.3 #2185 8:33PM
They have tattoos you can buy and fill in the info. I have some im going to use on our next trip. That and I'm getting my 9 year old a prepaid cell phone incase he gets lost - GonzalezCrew
28.4 #4457 10:18PM
Hmmmm that's a little weird - soccerdp9
27.1 #4513 10:19PM
Um yeah, the sharpee thing is a little much. I used to put a piece of tape on the inside of my daughter's shirt with her name and phone number. - MoonWillow
367.6 #377 10:25PM
I usually advise parents to write on the inside of their upper arm so it's visible but not likely to rub off. As a secondary precaution, write a phone number inside their shoe as well. Even if it gets a little smeary if you write it large enough it'll be legible - PrincessJ
84.9 #3208 10:26PM
I saw the same thing last week! :) good idea! - tinyfresh24
4.3 #12227 9:54AM
I never answer my phone so I write my PING chat name - HotDiggityDogDaddy
1112.0 #74 9:56AM
I write it on their tummies and their backs. They had bracelets but I was worried it would come off. U can never be too cautious when it comes to your kids - Disneyaddict
200.4 #1621 3:49PM
