Lost Child Procedure Launched at Stores

When children and parents are separated while shopping, panic can set in… that’s why Art Van Furniture is implementing CODE ADAM. Backed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the system was developed to quickly find children who are reported missing or lost in a retail store.

Beginning immediately at all Art Van stores, when a child is reported missing a special alert is broadcast over the announcement system. Immediately, specific steps are followed by the store employees and a “call to action” is taken to find a missing child. All Art Van employees have been trained in these special child safety steps.

“As a father, I completely understand the worry parents can have when shopping in a public place. CODE ADAM has proven to be successful and Art Van employees are 100% behind this program,” stated Gary Van Elslander, President of Art Van Furniture.

CODE ADAM, which began in 1984, is one of the country’s largest child safety programs.
