"YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED"
The story as a whole is a warning, but not a warning to intruders. The mother in the story becomes so obsessed with protecting her child that she does not know when to stop. In the end it is her protection that actually kills him. In that light, it is a warning against technology, and security. These things can overshadow the important things in life. Also, its a warning about getting wrapped up in anything. The fact that the son saw the security system as a "thicket" rather than protection shows that he felt trapped, but the mother had no clue. She had lost sight of the reason for her own security obsession. By reading this story, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED about getting caught up in miscellaneous desires of this life.
