Abstract

An ever-green problem over thousand years is the Child abduction around the world. The kidnapping of child in the society happens for the new-born babies to 15 years child. There are many methods, technologies;equipment etc. developed over the years. But, everything is having its own pitfalls. In this paper, we are addressing the prevention technique for infant abduction of new-born babies in the Hospital scenario. Here, an active anti-allergic RFID (Radio Frequency Identifcation) tag is attached with the newborn baby and mother. Among them one is acting as a master tag and other is slave tag. The mother tag and the baby tag's status are continuously sensed by an active RFID reader. The coverage range of the designated Active RFID system is around 100m. So, when the infant is moving far away from the mother or if it is separated for a long time then the reader fails to get the status of the baby tag and the corresponding control signals alert the hospital management and the mother. The Mother and Baby tag have the same Tag ID which helps during mother baby matching. So, this two added features effectively prevents and informs the child abduction well in advance at very cheaper cost in a very safer manner. Thus, RFID based method could be adopted in all the hospitals to prevent the Child abduction at low cost.
