About this organization
Mission
Since our founding in 2006, Gasp has advocated on behalf of child safety and developed high-quality programs designed to educate adults and empower young people to protect themselves in dangerous situations. Gasp continues to evolve to meet the needs of the community by participating in child safety events and speaking engagements. We often find that there is a lack of awareness of these issues, even as these incidents continue to be a part of everyday news. There is even less awareness of the alarming rates of human trafficking in the state of Ohio, which has ranked as high as fifth in the country for the most instances of human trafficking. Even more importantly, for every attempted abduction, or instance of abuse, exploitation or bullying in the news, there are thousands of other people who get away with their offenses. In 2018, we served more than 4,700 children and 9,000 adults through our education and advocacy programs and ID events. We participated in 118 events for our child ID.
About
Fingerprinting/Child ID event and Safety Town: We provided computer-generated discs with a child's pertinent information, photos, video, and digital fingerprints to share with law enforcement in the event that a child goes missing. In 2018, we participated in 118 fingerprinting/child ID events, which produced nearly 4,200 discs. We continue to work closely with the Summit County Prosecutors' Office by participating in the 'Take Me Home' program for 'at risk' children. We also work with local police department's Safety Town programs. Each year, we participate in Safety Towns in Stow, Springfield, Bath, Richfield, Copley, Barberton, Cuyahoga Falls, Uniontown, Akron and Mogadore.
