Anxious Parents can Locate Kids With GPS Child Locator Units

By Paul G. Wolf

Way to often the news on TV brings stories about about kids that have gone missing. Luckily, the majority of children return safe again, but unfortunately some dont and every parents worst nightmare comes true. The good news is that you don't have to endure something like this because there are ways to avoid lost kids with todays technology. I'm talking about a GPS child locator.

Childrens GPS widgets at the moment are miniature widgets and they are build into watches, cell phones, backpacks; even located directly in your child's clothing.

The child locator will then send out a signal enabling you to track the location of the kids at all times. You can program the GPS device to send signals at intervals as short as 15 seconds for near real time tracking of your kids.

GPS technology works wonderful for tracking kids that are at high risk due to child custody issues or similar problems. It is possible to set the widget up so that it will alert you not only to your kids location, but also if the child leaves a predesignated area or boundary. So you can know if the kid leaves their school or the neighborhood playground or pool. Envision the peace of mind you'll have when you know that you can simply log into your computer and instantly know where your kid is thanks to the child tracker device.

Some GPS devices also come with a panic button that the child can use in case of an emergency. The distress signal go not only to you, but also to the tracking service so the authorities can be notified without delay.

Frequently when children are kidnapped the kidnapper will at once get rid of any cell phone the child may be carrying to avoid being tracked. With a small unseen GPS tracking device attached to the child's clothing you'll still be able to track them and locate them fast. You and more importantly the police will know exactly where to locate your kid and this increases the chances they will be found unharmed dramatically.

GPS gadgets for small children can be as small as a watch or pager and they run on rechargeable batteries that last up to 24 hours. If you want something with an extended battery life you can get bigger GPS tracking units that can transmit for up to 2 weeks on a single charge. Older kids like teens can have the GPS units placed in their car to keep track of their locations and driving habits.

Many auto GPS units can be configured to send an alert or alarm, if the car exceeds a certain speed limit.

While personal GPS units are not low-priced you really can't put a price on the peace of mind you'll get knowing you can locate your child in case of some emergency. When the safety of your kid is at risk nothing is too expensive. In addition to the cost of the GPS device itself you'll also need to pay a tracking service which will run anywhere from $25-100 a month depending on the service and features. Buying a GPS device for tracking the kid can be a great way to give yourself peace of mind.
