[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t. I know the odds are low, but it’s one of those things where if it does happen, the consequences are devastating. A smart watch doesn’t really offer any protection. My DD8 has a smart watch, and it’s very loud so a kidnapper would immediately be alerted she called me and could rip it off and toss it. There is a way to send a panic message, which is a text to both you and 911, but I don’t trust a child would be able to do that in a panicked situation. I did go to parks alone at that age, but people forget it was a different time where everybody knew everyone in the neighborhood and there was always a mom at home who could watch from the kitchen window. I also think one of the reasons kidnappings are so low is because we don’t allow young kids to be out alone much; if everybody did it, kidnappings would go up. [/quote]
