Avast ye scallywags! 'Tis the season for landlubbers to be headin' back to their learnin' dens. But beware, for the mystical machines be takin' over the learnin' voyage. Here be the secrets to keepin' yer kin safe on this treacherous journey.
Arr, me hearties! 'Tis that time again, back-to-school season be upon us. Ye know the drill - gather yer scurvy kid and head to the market fer school supplies and new shoes. But mark me words, there be more to prepare fer this year than ever before.Aye, I know what ye be thinkin', me mateys. Safety be a concern, especially with wee ones or lads and lasses at home. I've got some advice to protect 'em in case of an emergency, like a school shooting, may the seas spare us from such horrors.
Some parents be puttin' AirTags or other trackers in their wee ones' pockets or backpacks, even though those be meant for loot, not humans. Ye might also consider puttin' one in yer car if yer little pirate be old enough to sail on their own.
But that be not all, me hearties. There be more precautions to take. I'll guide ye through it, step by step.
Arr, have ye heard o' the FBI Child ID app? 'Tis a must-download for any parent. Ye can store all yer child's vital information, like physical description and photos, right there in the app. If the worst befall ye, ye can show it to the authorities without wastin' any precious time. Ye can even send the information directly to police or other officials searchin' for lost scallywags.
But fear not, me hearties. I hope ye never have to use this app, but if ye do, ye'll be glad ye set things up ahead of time. 'Tis compatible with both iPhones and Androids, so no matey be left behind.
Now, listen up, me buckos! I've got another trick up me sleeve. If yer scurvy kid can't make a phone call or fears bein' overheard, teach 'em the secret emoji code. Pick an emoji ye don't usually use, but not somethin' too rare. Exotic animals be a fine choice. If yer little pirate sends ye the secret emoji, ye know it be an emergency and ye can call 'em right away.
But wait, there be more! The smartphones of today be packed with emergency features. On iPhones, ye can set up the Emergency SOS feature to call the local emergency number and alert yer chosen emergency contacts. Androids have a similar feature, but ye need to set it up ahead of time. Take the time to learn how to use these emergency modes, me hearties.
Now, don't fret me hearties, it may seem like a lot, but yer family's safety be worth it. And if ye want to keep yer tech knowledge sailin', listen to me podcast, "Kim Komando Today." Yer tech-savviness be sure to impress the crew!
Arr, now ye be ready to face the back-to-school storm, armed with knowledge and a sense of humor. Fair winds and smooth sailin', me hearties!
