Bullet Proof Backpacks

by Shopping Diva on August 30th, 2007

backpack“Straddling the line between preying on a parent’s worst fears and making sense in a weird sort of way is My Child’s Pack, an allegedly bulletproof backpack that will run you $175 plus shipping. In the years following the Columbine and Virginia Tech school shootings, not to mention the domestic violence in Essex last year that ended with teachers shot and killed, it’s hard not to look at this item and think that maybe it’s a move in the right direction. It’s also hard not to feel that things like My Child’s Pack are just more ways to take away what little remains of actual childhood for our kids.”

As was the case with the writer, my back-to-school purchases comprised of a couple of new blouses, a new pair of shoes and a couple of new minis. When my kids were in school, life hadn’t changed all that much. Now… it’s a very scary world that we are living in.
