"Silent scream" Alarm

[wolfman]

A "silent scream" text message device has been launched by a charity set up in the name of murdered Tokyo hostess Lucie Blackman.


The hi-tech gadget forms part of a campaign aimed at helping young people stay safe over the festive period.
The device works by pressing a button on the key fob for four seconds, which sends an alert to four people on their mobiles.
The message not only serves as an alert for help, but instantly locates the sender using satellite technology, even if they are moving.
The BuddySafe device is free to under-18s with a monthly running cost of £4.99. For adults, it costs £30 to buy and £5.99 a month to run. Available from
