Smart Ways To Keeping Your Children Safe

By Douk P Harper


It is a good thing that there exists a tracking device with GPS children can carry around. About a month ago, something happened that got me definitely concerned.

Just like any typical young adult, my eldest daughter, Emily, got a Facebook account. She is 14 years of age and has many friends. One afternoon, a guy contacted me and said that she had Emily with him. He had taken her from her school and that he wanted cash if I wanted to get my own child again.

I nearly broke down. I called her school immediately and found out that she was still there. It was a prank telephone call however, no doubt, the person discovered all her information from her public FB account.

Therefore, I bought her a mini GPS tracker. It looks like a key chain and I can use it to verify her location. There is an SOS button that she could utilize to contact me for assistance without dialing on her cell phone.

All I needed to do was get another SIM card for the device. Any time I wish to check on her, I can text or dial the number and the GPS locator will text me back her coordinates and speed as well as reveal it to me on a map. Best of all, I can contact the unit and listen to everything inside 8 feet of it.

For my youngest son, Paul, who is just 5 years old, I bought a Child Guard Panda. It is a wireless child monitor which he does not mind wearing due to the adorable toy design.

I can extend the electronic leash between 6 to 30 feet. In the event that he goes beyond that while wearing the transmitter, the receiver beside me begins to beep. I find it particularly helpful as he starts to wander off whenever we're in the grocery store.

I feel far more relaxed with these types of child safety gadgets. Now, if only I can also convince my husband to carry with him the very same tracker utilizing GPS device children take to school.
