you are asking how to track someone in a privacy community? π€¨
Yes, because 5 year old child is not supposed to venture away from school.
of course not, but how would this even be possible? are there no teachers that look after the kids? i don't think a tracker is the right way to go, but that's just my opinion, do what you like π€·
I'm probably being overprotective. However, teachers have a lot of kids to watch over. My kid would probably not go adventuring on their own, but we cannot rule out a kidnapper or some natural emergency situation.
Itβs ok children canβt consent so anything a parent decides must be ok \s
He can track his kids with privacy, so only he knows where they are and not other companies and agencies. I think that's the reason asking the community, or would just get the first ad that claims that can do this.
maybe, but what about the kids privacy?
This ain't a teenager. It's a little kid.
All kids at age 16 have a smartphone that is being tracked by many companies and big data. He's asking it for a 4β5 years old kid to be sure he's not kidnapped or lost. They will be tracked anyway. I think the problem comes when parents are tracking them when they are already older than 16 years old, when they can think properly or better by themselves, and they request more freedom. Until then, the parents take the responsibility. That's why I wouldn't mind using this device for little kids.
