If you follow the news everyday, you probably heard about the missing 4-year-old girl that was found last night in Missouri.  She had been missing for only about 24 hours, but that 24 hours was an eternity to her family.  As a nation, we don’t hear enough happy endings when it comes to children being abducted.  Too often, we only hear the horror stories:  children abducted and never found again, or found dead. 

The little girl from Louisiana, Missouri was playing in her front yard with her older brother when a man pulled up in a car and just took her away.  The children’s mother was inside the house fixing dinner.  A typical summer day in a small town . . . none of us want to even consider the possibility that something like this could happen to our kids.  But we must.  And we can’t assume that a missing child will be found safe and unharmed 24 hours later. 

So what can you do to protect your child from getting lost or even from being abducted, aside from never letting him or her out of your sight?  Some parents have resorted to putting their children on a leash when they go out shopping or to a park or other outside event.  I imagine it makes the parents feel safer, but it may not be an ideal method.  I saw a kid on a leash once and a child nearby looked up at his daddy and said, “Is that boy playing doggie?”  I had to laugh.  I also briefly wondered that if the boy got far enough away in a crowd, it would be so easy for an abductor to simply cut the leash and grab the child. 

Of course there are no perfect solutions to the dilemma faced by parents who want to protect their children but also want them to enjoy the freedom and fun of being a child.  We have all had the gut-wrenching feeling of turning around in a crowded mall or on a busy street and finding that our child is nowhere in sight.  

You can prevent your child from wandering away with the new improved Child Guard. Worn by the child, the cartoon animal-shaped transmitter sends a constant signal to the receiver, which is held by the adult. The signal is adjustable from a distance of 6 to 30 feet, so when the child goes beyond the set distance, the adult’s receiver starts to beep, letting them know that the child is starting to wander off.

Protect Your Child With the Child Guard Panda

The Child Guard is worn on the wrist of the child.  They’re shaped like a cute Panda Bear, so kids enjoy wearing them.  So what happens if you’re with a group of children and adults who are also using the Child Guard?  Each unit continually scouts around for a clear frequency, so it doesn’t interfere with anyone else’s system.

Give yourself and your child the gift of peace of mind.
