GPS technology, when incorporated into devices like smartphones or special tracking devices, can provide parents with real-time location information about their children. Parents can use this technology to check if their children have reached their destinations safely, such as school or a friend's house, providing peace of mind. Some GPS tracking services also include geofencing features, which allow parents to set 'safe zones' for their children. If the child leaves this designated area, the parents receive an alert. This is particularly useful for younger children who may not yet understand boundaries or for teenagers with more independence. In case of emergencies, having GPS-enabled devices can be a lifesaver, providing exact location details to help parents or authorities find a lost or missing child quickly. While such technology should not replace open communication and trust, it can be an effective tool for enhancing child safety in a modern, mobile world.
