Lol, this article seems somewhat absurd to me. Sounds like it was created by someone who didn't really believe any of the stuff, but was given the assignment of writing the article.
"If your children have cellphones, try preprogramming them to dial 911, with the push of a single button or two." Hm, gee, as opposed to pressing three? Saving a button press is pretty crucial.
"[Keep] baby monitors in older kids' rooms to listen for disruptions or unusual noise." Uh, yeah...I can just see teenagers being real happy about a baby monitor in their bedroom. I'm sure they'd just leave them there, functioning because they want to be safe though. [/sarcasm]
"You may consider using [...] a GPS-enabled wrist watch that can be used as a tracking device." Paranoid much? Again, I'm sure the kids would be just terribly thrilled to have their parents knowing their exact location at all times. We all know that Billy is actually doing homework with Johnny at Johnny's house, not making out with Amanda at her house, because that's what he said, right? Have fun explaining that one Billy.
