Keeping Tabs On Your Kids, “Get Smart Agent 86″ Style
The summer is when the kids are let loose to have some fun.
It might be to the park with the nanny or out and about at the mall or pool if they are older. While you are off to work, they are off to play – full-time.
But in today’s world, how can you be so sure that they are safe and sound wherever they are? The modern parent has undoubtedly discussed whether seriously or in jest about having spy cams for nannycams. Why can’t you keep tabs on your children every second of the day if you want to? Afterall, they are YOUR kids, no?
But outside of your home, it’s a little harder to keep tabs on the whereabouts of your little ones. Especially as they get to become “bigger ones”.

Only if there was a way to stick a GPS device on your child’s body so that you’d know exactly where they were going 24/7, right? Well guess what. . .
It is officially 2008 and here’s how you can do just that –
GPS devices have become so miniature that it is plausible for you to use them to track your kids 24/7 when you’re away from them.
Only 2 inches tall and 1 inch thick, you can use GPS tracking in almost any situation you desire. That is SMALL.
So small that you can easily hide it in a stroller or a backpack’s / jacket’s lining. Put it in a diaper bag or the car that your teen is driving.
Now you can call their bluff when they say they “ONLY” went to the library or to John’s house. In fact, you can easily “bump into them” at that place where they are NOT supposed to be since you’ll know exactly where they are located.
The cool part of these GPS tracking devices is that you can set a geographic boundary and if they travel outside of your predefined area, it can proactively alert you via email or text message.
Of course, if ever found out, you can just point to the concern for “emergency” situations like child abductions, or completely being lost, etc. Other parents might call you crazy, but you’re the one that has 100% peace of mind about your kids’ whereabouts!
Forgetting about cost, if you could have one of these for free, would you use it for your kids? Or any other reasons? Leave a comment below and share your thoughts.
