Phoenix Arizona parents are getting more on edge after news that a sexual predator is targeting young girls in the area.
What can they do to improve safety for kids, especially if there's an unavoidable situation where children must walk alone?
``Pepper spray and stun guns are probably the best bet," said Rose Marie Urbanski of Phoenix.
She said choosing a safety tool really depends on the age of the child.
``For the young children, the only possible thing we would recommend is the pepper spray."
Whether that would be right for a 7-year-old girl, Urbanski said, ``is up to the parents to decide as to the maturity of the child."
For older girls, she recommends ``a small stun gun that they can readily grab or they might want to wear it on their wrists, on a wristband. That way, they will have it with them at all times."
She said the small stun guns need some training; that girls with them ``wouldn't have to touch the person in order to discharge the electricity in the gun itself, so some practice is necessary just to know how to apply it to the skin."
Whether it's pepper spray or a stun gun, children must be taught how to use their protection and how harmful misuse could be.
The serial predator has tried to grab young girls off the street in 10 separate attacks involving 12 girls.
Whistles can also be helpful, Urbanski said, although she added that, unfortunately, a lot of people do not recognize whistles as a call for help these days.
Tip from Security Girl ....maybe not a whistle, however, a personal alarm does draw attention as a call for help.
Till next time,
