Alarm Pendant

Daniel speaks with Jeanie Mahoney about an electronic pendant she wears as protection against her former husband who used to abuse her. Mahoney and other women across the country have been given these pendants by police. If they push a small button located on the pendant, the police are alerted to go immediately to the wearer's home.
