The high percentage of children and teenagers carrying cell phones has caused controversy on how justified having a minor carrying a communication device is. There is no doubt about the fact that parents have to be able to contact their children, however, a child with a phone and poor judgment will most probably be vulnerable to the outer world with all its’ threats and abuses. Furthermore, we have the serious health issues related to wireless devices effects on people, under those circumstances multiple solutions have been presented for a safe secure method for parents to track their children without the need of cell phones. The proposed alternatives included phones with limited privileges for children;these phones are restricted to the ability of calling specific people only and have already installed applications for tracking location. Our proposed system “kids’ tracker” includes a wearable device for the child and an Android application on the parents’ smart phone. Kids’ tracker has shown a very decent performance with many unique features compared to other existing solutions.展开更多
