The LiveScience store has the new X4 Detector rover for 29.95$US. What a deal (considering a real detector runs around 300-1000$!

You’ve got to read the writeup on their site, it’s very funny and patronizing all at once! Keep reading for more!

In addition to that depressing scenario, statistics show that in 2006 alone, approximately 1.3 million American children will be abducted, get lost, or end up being classified as missing - this means every 40 seconds a child will require some form of help or are in an emergency. The AmberWatch Child Safety alarm and watch is just the device to help you keep tabs on your child and offer some form of protection in case they get approached by strangers who are up to no good.
