News, Mom: Walkie-talkie picks up trashy trucker talk. (baby, toy, parent)

[JD59]

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - A West Virginia mother is seeking a recall of a popular walkie-talkie after her 3-year-old's toy apparently intercepted a profanity-laced conversation between truckers about drugs and strip clubs.

Deborah Pancaro, 34, said she contacted Fisher-Price after she heard a conversation in which a man said "10-4" and other things that led her to believe the device was relaying a CB radio conversation.

Why recall them?? It is just a frequency issue, turn the thing off for a day?

When our kids were little we picked up the frequency of another person's baby monitor. We got to listen to a woman beat up her child on that. It was horrible. One of our neighbor's was a police officer and she came over to listen to see if we could figure out where this person lived-no such luck. It was very sad.

We had an old tv that picked up some guy's CB radio transmissions. Never found out who, but it was annoying when we were watching a show. We'd mute the tv and use another one for the sound
