Hidden Safety Devices for Children-Under $10.00  email this discussion to a friend?

Have you seen the backpacks they have for children with the alarms in them . I saw them on television last year and just saw a discussion where a lady was worried about her children.
This seems like a perfect way to safeguard your child. Since it seems all children wear backpacks a man has invited an alarm. If the child feels like they are in danger they pull a cord and a screaming siren will go off and draw attention to the child.
They are at alarm.com and you can get them for adults as well as children. They come in jackets, fanny packs and backpacks. Go and check it out. I dont think you can beat the price. 10.oo for piece of mind . Or you can spend more and get one of the other devices. it looks like they start at 10.00 for the fanny pack and go up.
I think that kids have to be aware of their surroundings and know who they can trust . They need to be given a password so anyone coming to pick them up at school other then a close relatived has to know that password. It will have to be one the child can remember too. Good luck and I hope this has helped someone out there that may be worried about their child.

This sounds(no pun intended) like a great idea. But can you imagine being in the school yard where kids decide it is great fun to pull each other cords?

I would consider it for peope like nurses are go out to parking lots at all hours of the night or something like that.

Just not sure about kids.

Yes I am sure there could be false alarms but the man that made them made them so when kids are running away or trying to get away they can pull a cord. The neat thing is that the backpack looks like an ordinary backpack. It is a neat thing and I work downtown and there was a couple of times I could have used one. One time for sure. I might get one for myself.
Thanks for your comment.

This is very useful information. Thanks for sharing it with us. It sounds as though one of those alarms might very easily be responsible for saving a lot of kids from being attacked or worse. And the price is very reasonable, too. Of course there will probably be some false alarms from kids who pull t he cord when they don't really need to, but at least it wouldn't hurt anyone. Better safe than sorry.

Your welcome, I hope it helps someone. I know I would have bought one for my kids when they were small. There have always been perverts around. Stranger danger.
I think you are probably right about the false alarms too but that is where the parents have to come in and teach the kids to be responsible with them.
The problem is a lot of people think it is the teachers job to teach the kids everything from manners to safety. I do however think that you cant overdue teaching your kids to be safe without scaring them to death to go out of the house. Dont want a lot of paranoid kids out there.
Thank you for your comment.

I live in a small community where you don't have to worry about that kind of stufff so much I know it can still happen but is less likely in a smaller town. If I lived in a big city I might consider one. But they seem like they mgiht be to interesting for kids not to just go around pulling them all the time to listen to them. The child screaming should have the same effect.

I live in a small town and didnt think we had to worry about that either. Not till 2 girls were kidnapped by a neigbor, raped murdered kept in a freezer and then buried. No one knows what torture these girls endured. There have been two children from small towns that are not on the map that have been kidnapped and murdered recently and just today they found a little boy from another small town that was murdered. Seems like you are more likely to get raped and murdered in a small town then a big town.
