Do Children Need Personal Alarms?

Is it too much for a parent to send a child to school with a personal alarm? Think about it, it might not be a bad idea when their safety is a concern.

Whether they are in grade school or high school, it seems like dangerous situations are bound to happen. We are not talking about shootings… They do happen, but fortunately, not very often. But there are many factors that can hamper your daughter or son's safety. Getting bullied or simply walking to and from school, can be a problem. Especially with all the pedophiles in neighborhoods. They can befriend your child and earn their trust. Children that ride bikes, can also get hit by a car… A child can be bullied or beaten up in a fight… Kids get into fights all the time on playgrounds. Having a personal alarm could alert a teacher and eventually contact the parents.

Providing your children with personal alarms for safety, is not so far fetched, after all… Parents cannot be too careful with their children. Especially parents who have a daughter or son that ends up in a fight or is getting bullied.

Hope for kids that are bullied in school

A new website is being used in some schools now called schooltipline.com. It allows bullied students to communicate with their school authorities about threats or threatening information they receive. It protects the identity of the sender and allows for two-way anonymous conversation. This is great for kids, especially shy kids, to come forward and get investigations started on bullies in their school.

Overall, the results of this new website have been very beneficial. There has been some misinformation provided by kids, but school personnel have stated that it is better to get some false information along with the legitimate information. Much of the information that has been reported by kids has been investigated, proven accurate and resolved.

I guess some may say that this is a little too much and that it may embark on the privacy of children. I think that children need to be monitored and guided as much as possible before they move out from under our roofs. Most importantly, if they are being physically abused by another kid.
