Family Security and Safety Event

Lakewood Ranch, FL: A Family Safety Fair will be held on Sunday, February 29th from 3:00pm to 5:00 pm at the Lakewood Ranch Community Park on Lakewood Ranch Boulevard. Free and open to the public, the purpose of the event is to provide safety information and tools to families who want to help prevent another abduction tragedy like recent kidnapping and murder of Carlie Brucia in Sarasota.

Conceived by Dr. Jaih Jackson, Lakewood Ranch family dentist and Doctors Health Journal, the monthly consumer medical newspaper, Jackson and local dentists will make dental impressions of children at no charge and give them to the family for identification purposes. The Manatee County Sheriff’s department will also be fingerprinting children and providing the fingerprints to parents at no charge. Sheriff Charles Wells plans on attending the event.

Jackson said, “We’re saddened because of Carlie’s death and we are waking up to the fact that it takes a village to keep our kids safe. If we can help another child, the tight-knit community here at Lakewood Ranch is ready to step forward, based on the people I have talked to. I am inviting the entire medical community to assist and the response so far has been overwhelming. Dr. Miguel Alvarez, a local pediatrician, has answered the call and other dentists are going to help too.”

Local merchants and groups are also assisting with refreshments and security products and information. Doctors Health Journal will provide public relations resources and people to help run the event. Local school organizations and the Lakewood Ranch Mom’s club are involved in the planning and will assist at the event.
