First of, let me start by saying that for those of you who participated in the poll, it was not meant to offend you or to demean your parenting skills. It is a means to bring some awareness to parents who may take their kids safety for granted because of the confidence we have in ourselves of being good parents.
We have to humble ourselves to the possibility that no matter how pro-active we are, how prepared we are in "case of an emergency", how much time we have spent getting to know our neighbors and the people surrounding our children's community, how much money we have spent in teaching our children how to defend themselves, and how much research you've done in the Internet or your neighborhood to make sure that there are no SEX OFFENDERS NEAR YOU; THERE IS ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEONE LURKING IN THE SHADOWS WAITING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO LURE YOUR CHILD TO DANGER, IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM.
(ASSUMING YOU ARE A RESPONSIBLE AND PRO-ACTIVE PARENT): Let me share some scenarios with you.
SCENARIO 1: You have attended church and have known your minister all your life. In fact, your minister is a personal close friend of the family (if not part of your family). Your daughter (or son) is now blooming and growing and is now 10 to 13 years old. When your daughter is 33, you find out, your well trusted minister had molested and abused your daughter.
SCENARIO 2: You are a pro active parent and have made sure you know where your kids are at all times by checking up on them and calling the place where they're supposed to be. On their way home, a van drives by and takes your child by force. Despite their best efforts to put all those karate lessons to use, they are subdued and kidnapped. Despite the Police's best effort to find your child, your son or daughter was never found.
SCENARIO 3: You are having a picnic at the park with your family and closest, most trusted friends or neighbors. Everyone is having fun, and you are diligent about keeping an eye out on your child. Suddenly, someone scored a touchdown and everyone cheers, you turn your head for a split second and when you look back, your child has vanished! You find out 10 years later that your child had been abducted by a person that lived only a block away from your house. The Police never had "Just cause" to search his house.
If you were one of these parents, (THESE ARE TRUE EVENTS BY THE WAY). Wouldn't you wish there would have been a way you could've had an advantage over that kidnapper or predator where you AND the police could've had a way to track where you child was; and maybe just maybe, given your son or daughter a better chance of being found or recovered that you otherwise wouldn't have had if it had not been for that little safety device you placed on your child's watch or bracelet.
WOULDN'T YOU CONSIDER THAT POSSIBILITY?? PUTTING YOUR PRIDE ASIDE, WOULDN'T YOU RATHER BE SAFE THAN SORRY????
HERE ARE SOME KIDNAPPING FACTS
