Rodriguez helps kick off child ID drive ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez helped kick off a drive to distribute 290,000 child ID kits to every kindergarten and first-grade student in the state this fall. He announced the initiative Monday at a news conference joined by local and federal law enforcement officials. Rodriguez says his goal is for every student in Michigan to have the FBI-approved kits. The kits help parents collect fingerprints and DNA in nonintrusive ways, list physical characteristics and add a picture to help locate missing children. The National Child Identification Program says 800,000 children -- one every 40 seconds -- in the country are missing each year.
