There are potentially many types of scenarios where you might need a codeword, I will name only a few: child feeling unsafe, a potential rape situation, a natural disaster, a riot, a kidnapping, a ransom scenario, a hold-up, extortion, robbery....well the list goes on.The codeword should be easy to remember, the military uses a running password when coming in from patrols....so this is right up your alley. Incorporate it today, and if you have young children, it is absolutely necessary. I would even run 3 different passwords, #1 I'm safe but need picked up, #2 I'm safe but it could get bad quickly pick me up asap , #3 I'm in danger call police and come get me NOW! But you decide. If you do use one now, share your story how it has helped or saved someone.

Good idea but lot of variables to consider where code words may or may not be right for everyone including:
- Age and maturity of kids.
- Crime levels within one's area.
- Balancing act between preparing one's family and unnecessarily scaring the family.
- Training the family on how/when to use. Knowing code words is not sufficient in my opinion.
