The number of stories I've read of poorly secured connected devices aimed at children. Stories of flaws so basic that it would be trivially easy for an attacker to get the child's location and send them messages posing as a parent.
Individual consumers will be very concerned about devices that could potentially allow their child to be lured to some random location and attacked.
