I understand that parents worry about their kids but, buying body armour for them? Talk about going overboard.
From The Times (UK):
Scores of worried parents are buying body armour for their children in a desperate attempt to keep them safe as street violence escalates.
A firm that supplies stab- and bullet-proof vests to government agencies around the world has sold 60 jackets, at a cost of between £300 to £425, to concerned parents who have flooded the company with inquiries after several murders of teenagers on London streets.
The company has received more than 100 calls from parents in the capital over the past few weeks. The company, VestGuard UK, usually gets one or two calls of this type per year.
Most bullet proof vests do nothing to stop a knife.
