ONLY BAD PARENTS LOOSE THEIR KIDS!!!

This was a statement I uttered at the ripe age of 18, with all the zeal and confidence that only belongs to the youth.

A few years down the road I had to eat those words and trade it for tears of shame and utter failure. I was now married and we had a healthy rambunctious three year old boy. He was the love of our lives and we were determined to give him the best education, raise him in the best way possible, and never let anything happen to him.

We were taking a wonderful summer vacation when the unthinkable happened: We were standing at a little ice cream parlor, I was getting our ice cream, while my husband was paying the cashier. When I turned around to give our son his ice cream, I saw in absolute horror that he was gone. He was just tugging at my dress a few seconds ago, complaining about more sprinkles on his ice cream. My husband and I flew into immediate panic, we started calling his name while running around like crazy people. Minutes, that felt like hourse, later a lady appeared with our son. She was an older lady and till this very day I thank God for her, she saw him running and caught him just before he could get to far out of our vicinity. He pointed to us and I think she also recognized us by our bewildered looks and behavior. She was scolding me and I was crying tears of shame and relief, all along holding on to my precious little boy whom I could have lost forever.

Don’t fool yourself; it takes SECONDS, and it is impossible for you to keep your eyes on them every second. After this horrific experience we started looking into anything that could keep our kids safe. Off course there was the kid harnesses, but that always seemed so inhumane and almost reducing children to animals. I do agree however that you would rather use that, than loose a child.

Needless to say, when I saw the Child Guard that let you know when your child wonders off, I was pretty excited. What an amazing invention! I would like to shake the person’s hand that thought of it. This is for sure a more humane way to keep your child safe and give you as a parent peace of mind.

Although I still try and keep my eyes on my children every moment of every day, it is great to have an aid, especially if you have more than one precious little person to worry about.
