GPS Trackers for kids

wendyocd

I'm going to be going on a few trips/holidays with my children and my two sons suffer from autism. Is there anywhere I could buy a gps tracker(s) to fit to my sons incase I lose sight of them so I can locate them immediatly? Or anything else similar to a gps tracker?

  • I just did a search on the same.

    My daughter is 17, moderate to high-functioning and could probably be considered a "youth at risk". She has taken to wandering at night without letting me know. I have started to padlock the front gate at night.

    I need something that is watch-like with a tamper-proof lock, unfortunately. I do realise this would be only partially effective and has to work together with other interventions. I'm hoping it will act as a deterrent. A panic button on the device would hardly be helpful if something horrific is happening. I wouldn't be able to reach her in time.

    Most of the GPS trackers I have seen so far are made for use in the USA with 110v chargers. Singapore (and the UK) is 220-240v. I'm not sure if a transformer to convert voltage would help.
