Remember, It’s a War Between You and the Bad Guys
My daughter and I were talking recently, and I mentioned about those “Baby on Board” sign, and made the comment that I thought they were dumb. Your baby’s safety depends more on your ability to drive safely than mine. Besides that, in this day of weirdo people out stealing babies and
selling them, why would you want to alert people that you have a baby in the car? To make matters worse, a lot of times, I see those signs in parked cars where the parents have left the baby in the car because, you know, “they just need a couple of things.”
My daughter turned to me with that irate look she gets on occasion, and I knew I was about to hear something that really stirred her blood. “That’s bad enough, Mother, but I hate those signs that people put on the car advertising their children. All any pervert has to do is ride thought a neighborhood and look at a car parked in a driveway. In one swoop they know what the child’s name is and what he likes to do. Are they just nuts? I’m as proud of my son as any parent, and I’m not about to give any pervert an advantage. That’s what you should write about.”
After that conversation, I realized my daughter is right. In a time when we worry constantly about sexual predators grabbing children, parents need to be on guard at all times. You wouldn’t put a sign in your yard that says I have a house full of expensive items in my house and this is my alarm code. So why would you put on a sign on your car advertising your most precious possession, your child?
