Bel Air Parents Concerned Over Children's Missing ID Cards

Reported by: Jeff Hager
Last Update: 9/08 7:17 pm
 

"We got these cards to protect our kids and our school offered it to us,” said Gina Hohman of Fallston, “and of course us parents took it cause with all the crazy things going on in this world and child abduction..."

Months later, when the cards never arrived, David Eddinger feared his 5-year old daughter’s information may have fallen into the wrong hands.

"Her height, her weight, her fingerprint, her picture, her address... not sure about the phone number... anybody can look at her picture and know what she looks like, her height, weight... right to the "T"," said Eddinger.

School administrator James Harned says the school has participated in the Maryland Youth Identification program for years, but he grew concerned when calls to its phone number went unanswered.

"We've had a good relationship with them,” said Harned, “We've never had an issue such and this."

We tracked the ID program to a Brooklyn address, but a resident told us the coordinators had cleared out six years ago.

We then travelled to a home in Essex---the last known address of one of the program’s directors named Betty Koller who had last promised delivery of the cards back in June.

Koller’s boyfriend told us she was in Ocean City with her son, and he believed the unfinished identification cards remained inside the home.

A tearful Koller called us brom the beach where a charitable organization is hosting her and her seven-year old son for the week.

She apologized for failing to deliver the cars, but she says her son has been battling cancer all summer, and she’s spent the last few months caring for him while putting her business of protecting over children aside.

She’s assuring parents she will complete the cards and get them in the mail to them next week.
