Shopping With Kids Posted By : Regina Jacques
November 4th, 2008I was at the grocery store this afternoon. We had a pretty nasty rainstorm here in Florida the day before, and I was hoping to get all my shopping done before we had a repeat of yesterday while IÂ’m trying to load my groceries into the car!
You know, doesnÂ’t it always seem like when youÂ’re in a hurry, everything holds you up, or is it just me? There was a woman just standing in front of the pasta that I needed to get at. I know what youÂ’re thinking, carbs, so bad yet so good. Anyhow, she had no regard of anyone around her.
The cart was in the center of the isle, and her son happened to be running up and down it, and he even wandered off around the corner! IÂ’m thinking, now this is EXACTLY how peopleÂ’s children get abducted. It only takes a few seconds. I had remembered a shopping trip I once made with a friend of mine with her two boys.
Her and I had stopped to look at something. As she was talking to me, her son who was maybe 5 or 6 or so, started ramming the shopping cart into the display stand. Not once, not twice, but over and over and over and over again, and she didnÂ’t stop him!
As sheÂ’s talking to me, my mind started to wander. All I could think about was, oh my lord! I canÂ’t believe sheÂ’s not telling him to stop! At this point, I couldnÂ’t tell you what she was even saying anymore as my mind was just blown.
FINALLY after what seemed like an eternity, she turned around, looked at him and in a really sweet calm voice said, “Honey you need to stop that”.
His answer to her was, “Don’t tell me what to do Mary Sue Parker” (the name has been changed to protect the innocent), and ran off into another aisle. At that response, I was thinking…WOW! If that were my kid….ooooh!
She then turned and looked at me, shrugged her shoulders and said, “Hmmf, kids”, and went on about what we were doing without even going after him. I was in utter disbelief.
Now I don’t have children, nor will I ever be able to (maybe some day I’ll adopt), but I was raised in such a way that I was probably the most respectful child on earth! I am just a mother of a dog, cat, bird and have 2 aquariums, but if I were one I’d make sure they’d never leave my sight in public. I perhaps might even keep them on a wireless “leash”! Speaking of which, let me tell you a little bit about it.
That is in fact an awesome product! It has a cartoon animal shaped transmitter that sends a constant signal to the receiver, which is held by the adult.
The signal is variable – from a distance of 3 to 21 feet, so when the child goes beyond the set distance, the adultÂ’s receiver starts to beep, letting you know that the child is starting to wander off.
The child safety alarm leash frequencies adjust themselves automatically to alert the proper receiver if more than one adult is in the same area using the Child Guard wireless alarm monitoring system.
The cutting edge of new microchips produced by SMT® technology, also referred to as the IC unit, is wafer thin and performs with superb accuracy and is incredibly reliable.
The IC unit is nicely hidden in a small plastic animal (looks like a toy) and can be concealed very easily under a shirt or jacket if you wish. This wireless child safety leash includes a parent receiver, and the transmitter is worn around the childÂ’s wrist.
Child predators can’t wait for the busiest shopping season of the year ahead. This is something no parent with a young child should be without. Protect your loved ones today!
Yours in Safety,
