GPS Tracking Child Locator

by Marie Kay Johnstone

A lot of parents think of me as overprotective because I got my kids a GPS child locator. These are the same parents, mind you, who will not let their kids stay out after 10 o'clock. These are the same parents who will make their kids call home every few hours. Yet, when I got my teenage son a child GPS locator, they flipped out and began to gossip about me. To me, it doesn't matter. Having GPS child locators is worth the talk. You see, there is nothing worse than losing a child. It is every parent's nightmare, and I will do everything I can to protect myself and my children from it.

When I first heard about the GPS tracking locator for kids, I will admit that I was a little bit skeptical. The GPS child locator sounds downright dystopian for anyone who has read 1984. No one wants to think that the government will have the ability to track their whereabouts or their children's at any time that they want. With the way that this country has been going in the last few years, the GPS child locator seems like a really poor idea.

Then I started listening to the 10 o'clock news. I heard about all the kidnappings that have been happening all over the country. It seems like not a day goes by where a child is not snatched or grabbed somewhere. The GPS tracking locator for children is something that could save a child if this happened. No one wants to see their children picked up by a stranger, but it is reassuring to know that, were my kids ever to be kidnapped, I would stand a good chance of getting them back unharmed because of the GPS tracker.

That is what swayed me and finally caused me to get the GPS child locator. At first, I could hardly look at myself in the mirror. I think my son was thinking the same thing. I have always allowed him a good deal of independence. He really has more freedom than most kids his age, and he seems to use that freedom very responsibly. The GPS child locator seemed to him like an electronic tether. He didn't like the idea of being watched everywhere he went. I know how kids work. I know that, now that he is being watched by my GPS global positioning system, he is more likely to act out. It doesn't matter to me. At least he will be safe.
