Safe Kids

Reports of missing kids have hit the headlines a lot recently. Here are a couple of tools you can use to keep your kids safe.

There's a new DVD out geared to kids ages 5 to 10 called "The Safeside." the dvd was created by the woman behind Baby Einstein and the host of America's Most Wanted, John Walsh.

The idea behind "The Safeside" is to entertain while teaching kids life-saving lessons. Parents should sit down and watch with their children. You might consider it a refresher course for you, and remember to use any chance you have to reinforce the safety messages.

Every second counts if a child is missing. Experts say 74 percent of abducted children who are murdered are dead within three hours of the abduction. That's the selling point of something called the Safety Key.

You hang the Safety Key on your keychain at all times, in case of an emergency. The key can be plugged in to any computer running Microsoft Windows. It will instantly load information and pictures of your child onto the Internet, and let you print posters as well.

You can buy the DVD at the safeside.com for about $20. The Safety Key by Lifelynx sells for about $60. Contact lifelynx.net to order one.
