Do Not Send Your Child Off To College Without A Keychain Alarm

The day your child heads off to college, especially when they will be travelling a fair distance and living on campus, can be an extremely emotional time for parents. It’s the first time that many kids really strike out on their own for the first time and empty nest syndrome can hit hard for mothers, fathers and siblings alike. You worry about their grades, their finances, who they will befriend and of course you worry about their general well-being. With all of this stress and worry during a time that should be celebrated and joyous it would be nice to have a simple and effective way of alleviating some of this stress. Well, there is one and it’s called a keychain alarm.
A keychain alarm is a device that shouldn’t cost more than 20 dollars and can offer protection for your college student that may prove to be absolutely invaluable. Unlike a stun gun, taser, pepper spray or mace a keychain alarm does now work by physically harming an attacker or incapacitating an individual in any physical sense. This makes these alarms entirely safe to carry for any man, woman, child and most importantly your college student. Keychain alarms work by simply emitting an extremely loud alarm that works to both frighten away an attacker and alert everyone within shouting distance that a crime is occurring.
If your curious as to how a sound alone is going to scare an attacker I should make it very clear that we are talking about an alarm so loud it is equivalent to sitting in the 10th row of your average rock concert (most of these keychain alarms register at least 130 decibels!). Even some scumbag looking to attack a student walking alone on a campus at night is smart enough to understand that the loud alarm means people’s attention will be drawn and the chances of him being caught shoot through the roof. Chances are very good that he will turn tail and run immediately for fear of being apprehended.
Another thing about the keychain alarm is that it makes it possible for someone to still call out for help even if an attacker moves quickly and covers a victim’s mouth. While a scumbag attacker is concerned with covering a victim’s mouth so that he or she cannot scream for help, the victim can simply set off the alarm and the attacker’s plans are immediately spoiled.
So please, if you have a child heading off to college in the fall or already have one enrolled please do yourself, your family and your child a huge favor and make sure they have a keychain alarm with them at all times.

Stay Safe,

College Campus Safety Tip: Keychain Personal Alarms

Your child going off to college can be a very proud moment in a parent’s life but at the same time a very same time a stressful one. There is something reassuring about knowing your child is going to walk through that door every night. When your child leaves for school that reassuring feeling does go out the window to some degree. You’re miles away and although you have the ability to call you obviously have concerns about your child’s safety, especially if it’s a daughter. Not that you don’t worry about a son’s safety but the fact of the matter is that the average female may be more prone to attack and less capable of physically handling one should one occur. With that said my son will not be attending college without a personal alarm packed in his suitcase. In fact that will be one of the stipulations to me paying for his education.




The majority of college campuses I would consider to be safe places but tell that to the parents of students who have been assaulted, mugged, raped or murdered on campus and you will no doubt hear a different opinion. The fact of the matter is that no place on this earth is entirely immune to tragic events. However there is something we can do to help ensure our children are not victims of these events and doing so is entirely affordable and so easy it is literally insane not to do. Purchase a personal alarm and stress to your college student the importance of carrying it. The fact that many personal alarms are attachable to key chains should make this very easy.



Personal alarms vary somewhat in color, shape and size but for the most part are meant to be easily-carried handheld devices that emit extremely high decibel alarms when activated by the user. They are not a stun device or defensive spray or anything that could possibly harm the user or another individual. If you think that means that these devices cannot be as effective as a stun device or defensive spray then I must tell you that you are dead wrong. Let’s say, for example, a potential rapist should be out late at night, carousing the campus looking for a young female victim and this scumbag happens to stumble upon a young lady with a 130 decibel key chain alarm. Let’s just say that when this 130 decibel personal key chain alarm is activated it will be heard by anyone within screaming distance. 120 decibels is the decibel level emitted by a jet airplane on a runway. 10 decibels louder than that is going to scare the hell out of that attacker and probably see him run in fear. If not it’s certainly going to attract the attention of everyone around and security will no doubt be on its way.



So please do yourself and your loved ones a favor and be sure they are equipped with such a service when heading off to school.



Sat Safe,

Personal Alarms Are My Favorite Protection For College Students

A person’s college experience should be a joyful one. I oftentimes reminisce about my own college experience. Unfortunately I can only remember about 7 minutes of the 6 years I spent obtaining my associates degree in communications but those 7 minutes were very special, I think. My point is that college should be spent enjoying oneself and not worrying about the possibility of being mugged while walking back to ones dorm from a late night study session. In a perfect world a college student wouldn’t have to worry about arming themselves with a tool of non-lethal self-defense but we don’t live in a perfect world and one needs look no further than the nightly news to know that our college campuses are not always the safe haven they should be.

So what is the solution? How can I as a parent ensure my child’s safety while he or she is away at school? One solution would be to have him or her carry around a firearm. That is a great solution if you enjoy breaking the law, are an out-of-your-mind lunatic and enjoy endangering your children and those around them. A much saner, safer and legal solution would be to arm your child with a completely harmless yet effective personal alarm.

Personal alarms are small handheld alarms used to deter potential attackers by emitting an extremely loud alarm that both attracts the attention of anyone within screaming distance and scaring the bejeezus out of the attacker. Many personal alarms are 130 decibels or more. That’s loud enough to be heard from a quarter mile away or more. For comparison purposes, a subway train roars by at approximately 95 decibels, a loud rock concert pumps out about 115 decibels and a jet engine is about 140 decibels. So when Mr. Attacker wants to play he’s going to have an audience as soon as something as loud as a jet engine goes off two feet from his face and we both know that scumbag doesn’t want an audience.

One thing you notice on college campuses these days that did not exist in my day is the emergency phones used to call for help. That is a wonderful measure taken by schools to ensure their students safety but may not always be accessible in the case of an actual attack. Personal alarms on the other hand are as accessible as your pocket, purse or key chain.

So if you are a college student or a parent of a college student please take the time to equip that student with a personal alarm that costs less than any textbook sitting in their dorm and could potentially save their life one day.

Stay Safe,
