Anti-abduction device

by Harris, Christopher L.;

An anti-abduction device for preventing or discouraging the unlawful abduction of a child or person. The anti-abduction device comprises a pair of bracelets with each bracelet being adapted to fit around the arm of a person. More particularly, the bracelets include an interconnecting structure that enables the bracelets to be interconnected. In use the bracelets are disposed about the arms of a child or person. In an abduction threat the child or person places his or her arms around an object. Because the bracelets assume an interconnected mode after the arms have been extended around the object, it follows that the child or person is effectively tied to the object and this will serve to frustrate the abduction attempt.

A parents fear over their children is boundless and people will prey on this. Even me, just my children playing in their garden has me thinking that some paedo is going to jump over the garden wall and snatch them. So too far? Well in the sense that a child should never be in a situation where they can be abducted then yes.

When it comes to my child I'll try anything to prevent them being abducted. That said, the bracelet wouldn't work with my baby and, I suspect, Maddy, simply because my youngest wouldn't know how to hold onto something, plus he goes to anybody (he's 16 months, and knows no danger).

I don't get this concept..so, basically it acts as a personal "anchor" for the attacker to take what he wants? confused3 what if it locks you somewhere you don't want it to? what if you forget it's on and you clap?
