"Questions from Shawn Hornbecks message b"
 
   We've had several people asking questions on Shawn's board about how to get a law or motion for a law started reguarding missing persons. We've also had several people with some interesting ideas on how to protect children but they don't know how to go about making their ideas a reality.

One very good example is a recent post from a mother of a missing child who'd like to see if it's possible to have stores make up a braclette for kids to wear while in the store. The bracelettes would some how trigger the store alarm if the child became seperated from their parent and tried to go outside or was taken outside without the parent present. Her idea was that the parent would show their id. or something when the bracelette was but on and then again to have the braclette removed when exiting the building. If someone other than the parent who'd given the ID tried to remove the child that person would be detained.

Anyway, I know Ladybug has many more visiters who are more legal savvey than we are. If any of you all could please visit www.shawnhornbeck.com and give some advice on getting ideas for child protection, or laws turned from ideas into a reality we'd appriciate it.

   Wow- what a terrific idea! such a bracelet would be VERY simple to make- just think of the security tags that are on expensive items in Walmart, for example- (the next time you buy an expensive face cream or an ink cartridge for your printer, take note of the thick little white bar glued to the inside of the box).

There is a guy here in Cleveland, TN who invented a necklace that looks quite ordinary, but actually has a tracker in it. His idea is that parents could have their kids wear this necklace (or watch or bracelet), and then they have a hand-held tracking device which shows them exactly where their child is at all times. Of course, at this point it would be quite expensive, but he is working on making it an affordable thing. It's kind of like those hand held devices that give you directions on where you are going.....
