Kathleen Baty, known best as The Safety Chick, was on the TODAY Show this morning talking about back-to-school safety for students of all ages. As Kathleen notes, back-to-school time is a good time to reinforce personal safety.
The Safety Chick’s Must-Have Products to Keep Your Students Safe
- Padlocks – familiarize kids with how to use padlocks on lockers, for bikes or to lock up their stuff
- Backpacks that light up - for road safety
- Absolute LoJack for laptop security – to lock down or wipe data and use our Investigations Team to help recover your device
- Cable lock for laptops to add more physical security to laptops in libraries or dorm rooms
- Cell phone charger case to boost battery life, so you can always contact your kids
- Safe decibel earphones for kids, though we recommend not using them in public (since they alert thieves your child has a device)
- Small alarms for doors or windows in dorm rooms, to alert you that theft may be in progress
