Device allows parents to track their children to within 10ft
(10 Comments)A satellite tracking device that will allow parents to plot their child's location to within 10ft will go on sale in the UK in March, its manufacturer said.
Concerned parents will be able to receive text or email updates of their child's location.
Nu.M8, thought to be the world's first GPS locator device specifically designed to be worn by children, is concealed within a digital watch.
It can be securely fastened to a child's wrist and will trigger an alert if forcibly removed.
Parents who text "wru", or click "where r you" on the secure website, will be able to see the child's location on Google maps and the street address and postcode will also be displayed.
So-called "safe zones" can also be set up in which children can play safely and an alert will be sent to the parent's mobile phone and computer if the child strays out of that area.
The watch, which will go on sale in March, is expected to cost

Yay! Another way for those douchebags to "protect" us. Why don't they just send us to prison? Oh wait! THEY DO!!
What a scam. Who on earth would spend that big of an amount anyway?
Oh my god...Kids had that freedom back then because parents WEREN'T overprotective fucktards!
"Hopefully in using this product girls and boys can now be given the similar freedom to play outside that I enjoyed as a child."
Get a backyard.
Why would it be good for small children?
this seems good for small children...
Phones with a GPS tracker have been around for ages, now a wrist watch you can't remove? Just imagine if someone did this to an adult...
"Hopefully in using this product girls and boys can now be given the similar freedom to play outside that I enjoyed as a child."
Similar freedom? Not even. He somehow turned "tracking device with "safe zones" that children can't leave into "freedom." I can't believe people buy that.
You could try jamming the signal. I think GPS signals are in 1450 to 1600Mhz range and are sensitive to noise. In fact, there are commercial GPS jammers but they are probably illegal in US and Canada.
Big brother is watching you. Or at least that's what this seems like.
