Personal Tracking Device For Your Kids?
Moms, would you track your kids with GPS?
So I was reading an article on GPS technology and being able to track your kids with a bracelet like the court system with offenders or kids with mental disabilities. GPS technology that could be in watches, cell phones, vehicle trackers to even locating your child.
Would you as a parent track your child using GPS technology. Why or why not?

Ya know, when I first read your question, I thought yes and then no – I guess I have mixed feelings. But, the more I think about it, yes – I would probably track my child. I wouldn’t do it for lack of trust, but rather safety purposes. You hear about that little boy who wandered from his Arizona home a month or so ago and ended up dying? GPS would have saved him. That’s reason enough in itself to do it for a young child, not to mention WHAT IF something awful happened. There are A LOT of crazies out there, and if you knew exactly where your child was, you could help him/her BEFORE some awful tragedy happened. When my child was older, say 16 or so, I would only use it if he didn’t come home or something at the time he was supposed to. It’s nothing something that I’d use for spying, but for safety reasons.

i might. depends if you can trust your child or not. but then to also be on the safe side. what if she was kidnapped or got with the wrong crowd… etc

The only time I would track my child would be if he/she had a mental disability and a tendency to wander off. That would only be for the safety of my child.
Other than that, absolutely not.

Yes, because of what the world is coming too, then i would definitely want to know where my child was if he went missing for some reason. It may sound strange, but if it will help keep my child safe, then i would do it!

No I wouldn’t because I would try to trust my child. If you need a GPS on your child then you obviously don’t trust them.

Heck yes!!! I would definately put a tracking app on his phone. I probably wouldn’t use it unless he didn’t come home or if I thought that he was lying about where he was or if school called and said he was skipping, then I would go find him and drag him home by the ear. Lol, maybe not. But I definately would for safety,.

No. If I can track my child then so can the sickos who prey on kids. If GPS bracelets for kids became popular I can promise you that sickos will apply for jobs there and have the inside info to track your kids as well. And sickos on the internet will find a hack into the system so they can track your kids. No thanks.

Yes, right now I would. My son is 3 and he is a wild child so if he ran off that would help a lot, or if he got kidnapped. I’m guessing if he were kidnapped the kidnapper would ditch the tracking device but you never know.
I AM NOT IMPLYING I WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. But with the way people are these days I just know deep inside anything is possible. Once my son was older I wouldn’t be too worried I would just get him a cell phone to call me in case of emergencies or to let me know what he’s doing that day. There comes a time it’s okay to let them explore the world on their own, but right now I’d rather know every step my little man takes.

Yes, I would. Perhaps they could develop a sort of chip that would be accessible in the event of an emergency…like if/when your child goes missing. That way it wouldn’t be like a constant surveillance (as someone mentioned mistrust) but it would still be a reassurance to KNOW you could locate your child in the case of a kidnapping or disappearance.

Right now? At 11 months to maybe 15 years old, heck yes!
With todays world, and how disgustingly psychotic people are, I would in heart beat. Once your child leaves the country, they’re pretty much lost forever. The underground human traffic ring is like an invisible world. Once your in, your hardly ever come out.
After 16, I would take it off, as I hope I can give my child enough direction in life to know what is okay and what is not and to trust your "gut".

Nah…probably not. It kinda skeeves me out, whether it’s a small child or not.
I would be much more likely to do it with a toddler…I would never do it with a teenager.
"With the way the world is today…"
The murder rate is back down where it was in the 1960s. People are not hiding around bushes waiting to kill/rape/molest people…
There aren’t as many kidnappings and murders as it seems like…the media seems to cover them a lot, but not because they’re happening left and right. It’s because they make good news stories and people usually tune in.

I might. Look at that little boy kyron (is that his name) who they think his step mother took him or did something to him. If he had that kind of watch on they would have maybe found him. It’s not always because of the parent not trusing them, but it can be for safety too. I know that after that happened to kyron, I take my son to school and walk him in and I am there to pick him up.
