I found an Apple Airtag on my nine-year-old son – the engraving was the scariest bit, it’s becoming way more common

TAKING your kids for a day out can be a chance to make memories, but there can be hidden dangers were you least expect it.

Though she'd set out to have a fun day with her young family, one woman was terrified after discovering an Apple Airtag on her buggy - with her son's name engraved on it.

Shockingly, Diamond Williams only found it after a couple of hours.

It happened last year as she and her three kids enjoyed a fun-filled day at Fort Worth Zoo, where they'd been enjoying some quality time together.

As she pushed her buggy along, the US mum heard something fall and clatter to the ground.

When the content creator finally looked, she couldn't believe what she found.

On the ground was an Apple Airtag with her son's initials on it, despite her never buying one for her then-nine-year-old.

Naturally, the TikTok star assumed that someone in her family had gotten it because of the engraving.

After Diamond called her husband and extended family to check, no one claimed to have bought the AirTag for her son Jaxton.

She even questioned whether her son's items could have been mixed up with someone else's stuff who had the same initials.

Trying to brush off the moment, the mum continued the trip but still felt anxious about what had happened when she got home.

Having asked a neighbour about the incident and the off-duty police officer urged her to go to the authorities.

Recalling the moment in a now-viral video, she explained: "I realized that this is not something that anybody that he knows gave to him or me.

"This is something that was put on our things."

The influencer was later as to give a statement over the phone about what had happened with the police saying the same thing: it was too coincidental to be a coindience.

Following the call, the police told her to wipe the Airtag before disposing it.

Since the incident last year, Diamond has seen videos of others claiming that this had also happened to them.

Worryingly, some even claimed that Airtags were being used to stalk people and it was becoming more common.

The mum then urged her followers to be careful, saying: "Trust your intuition. If you find an air tag on you, don't assume that you bought it and forgot, because no one does that.

"If you find an air tag on you and you didn't know about it, odds are someone else put it there."

Diamond even confessed that felt 'lucky' because nothing had happened to her and her young family, but told others to alert the authorities if they find one.

Whilst this is unlikely to happen, it is an important reminder to remain cautious when you are with your family.
