I really like their bulletproof backpacks but I also love the teen tracking products.

I need a portable incarceration unit.......

That is going to sell like hotcakes to the yuppy. Next best thing to having your child on a harness/leash. (popular a few years ago).

Upgrade from 1.0 to the new and improved 3.0 (patches to follow with firmware upgrades).

About $1,000 per back pack... and that only provides some shielding if the child is shot in the back where the body armor is.

But the backpacks would keep their cans of hyper-inattention activity producting Monster energy drinks from being pierced!

Not really. The actual shielding would be against the back of the child, not protecting the contents of the back pack.

We get Dragon Skin issued.

I'm just curious as to why a child at school needs such a backpack....or bulletproof anything for that matter. Only in America.

It is sad that a market would consider demand for such a product.

I wonder how world wide the epidemic of school shootings are. We have read of instances outside of the US..such as up north in Canada.

well its more of a safeguard for kids that bring guns to school " i thought he was wearing a bp back pack and it was an accident".

I do like the child monitor units, rather than taking all that time to earn trust you can simply track them.

"Appropriate response for a given situation"

Many a parent would say a flax vest is appropriate in that some kids have been killed in a school setting. Given that logic... those same parents would probably invest in "transporter" to get the kids to and from school.

All depends on where the paranoia needle sticks.

That's pretty cool. I plan on installing a GPS Locator on my daughters cars when they're of age......thank God that I don't have to worry about that for another 14 yrs or so.

Thank you.

Also when you make your child responsible for making the money to buy a cellphone then I doubt that there gonna just toss it away.

So if they are responsible enough for making the money to buy the cell phone, how on earth do you plan to mandate that they keep the GPS function enabled?

I wasn't that stupid as a kid....neither were you. We got around and got away with plenty of stuff.

Don't underestimate the power of teen angst. I took many a beating and plenty of groundings in exchange for good times.

All I had to do was ask myself, is this worth getting the belt? If yes, proceed on to rebellion. If no, rethink my strat.

You have already lost the battle if you think that technology is going to supplant real parenting skills.

Oh yeah....

She made the money to buy the phone. She already had the fusic which wasnt working for her anymore and she wanted a new one. I wont spring for all the whistles and bells on a phone so she had to get the money for the phone itself which she bought an lg rumor.
I still pay the monthly contract and can do what I want with the service and she knows that. I also dont have gps enabled because I have a good kid and I am not worried. My wife checks in on her all the time and were confident that we raised a good kid with a good head on her shoulders. We are very much in her life and we know everything she does.
Also if I was to tell her to enable gps and I wasnt able to check on her then her phone would be gone and she would be grounded. No two ways about it. One thing people need to do is parent there children and know what there kids are into.

There is the rub. The majority of people do not know what their kids are doing and have little control over the power of peer pressure. Acceptance into a group of "like" children is critical and sometimes doing things outside what is socially and legally acceptable are necessary to prove you belong in a social circle. Again... a lot of parents can't even make kids clean the bedroom yet alone control what they do after school.

The point being is that good kids, bad kids, anyone with a phone can be monitored. Not necessarily by the parents, but by any organization that has the desire and technical know how to deploy technology to obtain information.

Not only information about where they are, but what they talk about and what they do. If I want to have an affair with the secretary on the 8th floor, it's a moral call that I have to live with. If my cell phone is tracked and monitored, then some "person" can become judge and jury over over that affair I had. Granted an affair is not normally accepted, but who has the right to judge me based on information they collected about my movements without my knowledge.

Well duh....I agree with you 100% lol.

But you know that when we were teens, we did what we had to do to have our fun. Today's kids are not any different. It only takes one lapse in judgment to get into a car being driven by some other drunk teen....

So I don't think tracking does anything because you'll be the one always chasing.

Respect for the consequences of one's own actions.
