I agree with Jessie. The local police are pretty big on making sure the kids are safe. No names on backpacks, skateboards, bikes, etc. (We had that freak that killed a little girl’s family and took her away come through town. CREEPY!)
Wow, this stupid little trend has not made it’s way to the midwest yet. I’ll yet you know in about 2 years how retarted I think this is. Right now we just get to see that calvin decal pissing on this or that, all of those friggin’ magnetic ribbons, and which NASCAR driver people support.
My sister, at one time, had those stickers on her van. Just to make a point to her (she is WAY over protective, almost zealot), I took her to the mall and approached a family with that similar sticker on their window. I spoke to them by name and almost had them believing I met them a year ago, before I told them what I was doing. The guy looked shocked and told his wife they are taking the names off.
Jessie, I’m glad cops are pointing out the dangers of this to people. I’m amazed they don’t see it until an authority figure tells them about it.
Maggie, I don’t think a name on an item is going to get it back for them anyway. If someone wants your skateboard, your name on it isn’t going to stop them.
Zoe, those support ribbons are EVERYWHERE here. And they’re ugly!
Crothos, that was awesome what she did. If she’s able to do that, imagine the damage a con artist/stalker could do.
And they are adding to the world’s overpopulation! Soon we won’t be able to fart without at least 30 people smelling it and another 50 hearing it!
Before I forget, I’ll be linking your blog in my newer friends link place, please add my blog to yours. If you want to read some of my stuff, go to the info section and find the Retro Reaper post that has tons of links to my best stuff. Thats if you’re into the whole pursuit of knowledge from a crazy source.
Yeah, I’m here in the midwest too and I haven’t seen it yet. But I agree, it sounds pretty stupid.
I just think it’s dumb to have that many kids. Why does anyone want to do that?
As much as I think it is dumb to advertise your kids names, I also think parents should educate their children that a stranger may say anything to get them to go with them. Just because someone knows your name doesn’t mean you should go with them. I’ve told my daughter a million times, I will not ever under any circumstances send someone you don’t know to pick you up. I don’t care what they say.
That’s just as dumb as “Baby on Board”. Yeah, come and steal my white baby and sell it on the black market, or whatever.
I have tinted windows and a Harley-Davidson sticker and an “I love my GUN” sticker.

Yep… right there with your licence plate. Duh.
Those ignorant stickers piss me off. I hate any sort of sticker on cars. I mean, WHY put crap on your car like that? I hate that I have to put parking stickers on my window for (my previous) work.
I’ve got pictures of my kids on my blog, plus their first names, but I would never say where we lived, etc. I get really uncomfortable when I come across a blog that says, “I’m Mitzi Jones, from Bumduck Falls, Idaho and my kids are Harper, 13; Cody, 9 and Britney, 4!” It’s like, HELLO! That creep that abducted Shasta and Dylan Grohne had a blog for God’s sake!
I’ve got a “Free Tibet” sticker on my car, but it’s flaking off and as soon as it’s gone, I’m not going to personalize my vehicle anymore. Not because of pedophiles, but in case I cut someone off, I don’t want my tires slashed at night!
damn, I’ve read that it’s a bad idea to have a vanity plate on your front of your car with your name on it (if you’re female), so advertising the whole family’s names sounds like all-around asshattery to me!
Count me in with the rest of the gang… totally frikkin stupid thing to do. Hello? Stalker? Please come take my children away from me.
Duh.
I haven’t seen people with name stickers on their cars so I guess it’s a trend that hasn’t reached here yet but I agree it is stupid.
I’m a bit paranoid about advertising my boy’s name and things but that’s just how I’ve been brought up I guess.
Hell, I’m so paranoid, I didn’t even tell my kids their own names until they were 8 years old.
CP.
I totally agree with you. this is pure stupidity. It is no different than having your child’s name on their backpack so a stranger can simply call out to them. Fuck that. I’m too paranoid. And I like it that way.
I haven’t seen any stickers like that here, but if I were to see one, I’d probably imagine they were so you could keep track of how many people you drive off the road - you know -like those war pilots used to stamp the sides of their planes when they shot someone out of the air… But I’m a little twisted that way.
You know, we did the same exact thing once, but a highway patrol pulled my husband over and told him to take it off, because its dangerous. He said that all they have to do is go to your kids school and say, “Hey Billy, your mom Sharon told me to come pick you up so we can go look for your dog Spike.” Our kid was a baby at the time so it didnt much matter, but the sticker was gone the next day.
Actually, I saw two very cute ones that made me laugh. One had the dad laying down sideways and all of the other stick figures were jumping up and down on him, and he was labled “jerk.” I also saw one that had mom and dad, and then a sperm with a ? in it. HA HA!
Good day to ya
