LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/14/13 -- Childcare Compliance, the nation's leading legal compliance resource for childcare providers, agencies and unions, today announced that its iEvidence child safety mobile app has received a "2012 Family Choice Award" in the Parent Resource Category. Now in its 17th year, the Family Choice Awards recognize the best in children's and parenting products and is one of the most coveted, family-friendly consumer award programs in the nation. The iEvidence award serves as the organization's recommendation of iEvidence to families across America.

iEvidence is designed to help anyone wishing to document bullying, child abuse, sports injuries, or other urgent child-related situations, and is the only child safety app that draws on the same court-related Preliminary Report used by police for collecting evidence from on-the-scene witnesses. The simple, step-by-step instructions and unique "voice record" function make documentation easy for parents and caregivers. They can also embed photos into their reports and quickly compile evidence into email format.

"In my dual career as a prosecutor and a provider, I've seen many child safety issues, from abuse to bullying, that go unreported or are ignored because parents and educators lack the necessary tools to succeed and prosecute," said Michelle McGinnis, founder of Childcare Compliance and a Los Angeles-based prosecutor. "iEvidence arms parents and caregivers with a tool that can document these horrible crimes and make it nearly impossible for law enforcement to dismiss a witness account of an incident involving a child."

Available from iTunes and Google Play for 99 cents, iEvidence is currently on Android and iPhone in seven languages, including English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Farsi, Armenian and Korean.
