Karina Jimenez is a nanny who walks kids through the neighborhood.
“The kids walk or scooter and play with bikes or when running, and I think that’s not safe for kids,” Jimenez said.
Wang says the social media fuss is an overreaction.
“People need to weigh the credibility of the claims that they see online before reacting to them,” Wang said.
The device Wang installed is called a scat mat, designed to deter pets. He says that the mat could not cause harm.
“You could push down with a moderate amount of force,” Wang said. “You see minor indentations on my palm, but it doesn’t cause any punctures.”
