Thanks to the efforts of missing child advocate and kidnapping survivor Midsi Sanchez, the children of Vallejo are now a bit safer.

Sanchez hosted a free Stay Alive Safety Awareness event Saturday at the Vallejo waterfront.

During the event, children were able to be fingerprinted and photographed. Educational information on safety, including a 12-point plan for kidnapping emergencies, were provided at no cost to families.
