Put 'ICE' on kids' phones

Parents, this is a really good idea, especially for kids' cellphones. It was a British paramedic's idea - to have an emergency contact number (listed as "ICE") in every phone's address book or contact list, USATODAY reports. "Accompanying that acronym would be the name and phone numbers of the person who should be called if something has happened to the owner of the phone." Even if a child just loses the phone, the number can be used to get it back to its owner, but we can all see what a great help this would be to anyone trying to help a child for any reason - instant access to the people who care about this child most. The idea is in fact a full-blown campaign in the UK. "The ICE campaign was launched in Britain in April, but people really started paying attention after the July terrorist bombings in London that killed 56 and injured hundreds," according to USATODAY. Paramedics in the US have picked up on the idea and are also now promoting it.
