Child Safety And Emergency Preparation

As a parent there is precious little to nothing that you would not do to keep your children safe from harm or accident. It’s your responsibility to keep them fed, bathed, clothed, and sheltered. When they leave your sight to venture through the doors of your home out into the world village, you pray for them and hope that their guardian angels are watching.

When you take your toddler out with you to go grocery shopping, in a moment you turn to locate her and she is gone! You panic, and can hardly breathe. Seconds later you notice her down another aisle playing with an item taken from one of the store shelves. When your children get old enough to go out and play on their own, you hope they remember to look right, left, then right again before they cross the street.
When your children reach their teens they then are faced with other potential pitfalls. Pressures from their peers may weigh heavily upon them, and you hope they remember and heed what they were taught once they are presented substances that would be dangerous to their bodies, minds, and spirits. Being with the “in” crowd seems to be important to them for their social survival, and weekend parties may consist of a crowd that you’d rather your youth didn’t associate with. Ventures into immoral traps may be their initiation into a clan that leads them down darkening paths.

When your children are grown there isn’t as much you can do to change their minds on any particular issue. Lifestyles are fashioned and patterns are in place. There are forces both seen and unseen that act on our children as they go through various phases of the growth and learning process. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could be a fly on the wall to observe how they react and behave in given situations, and to see if they have developed the integrity to be their own person as opposed to blending in and just being part of the crowd?

Fortunately we can to a large extent check in and stay in touch with our children thanks to technologies that are so convenient and relatively inexpensive. A brief call or a text or instant message sets our minds at ease, and lets them know they are in our thoughts. And in the event our children are improperly taken from us by kidnapping, there is also a survival means that can track them and help the police in their recovery much like On Star detects and tracks an accident with an automobile.

Coming full circle– now back to the beginning: we feed, bathe, clothe, and shelter our children. As parents we want them to have every good gift. How far would we go for their safekeeping and security? Let us take every chance we get to provide for their well being and keep them safe from harm. The ability to track them should they be taken from us is something that every parent who has had an Amber Alert sent out for their child would wish they had. Take advantage of this miraculous emergency preparedness technology, and prevent the unfathomable heartache of an abducted child.
