Texas students to get ID kits to identify children’s bodies in emergencies

Parents express frustration that the state seems to be preparing for child deaths without addressing gun control

Millions of Texas children will get identification kits designed for parents to collect fingerprints and DNA to be used in case their kids are in an emergency such as a school shooting.

Nearly 4 million Texans from kindergarten through grade eight will bring home a tri-fold pamphlet this month in which parents can place their children's fingerprints, photo and a DNA sample, according to ABC13.
