Reply To: Tracking devices for children

Your point is valid, but I disagree. First of all, Leiby a’h, left day camp around 4:50. He was supposed to meet his mother 10 minutes later. He walked for over half an hour before meeting the wrong person. His mom would’ve had at least 15-20 minutes to track him. Knowing that it was his first time walking, she also could have had the option to check periodically when he was supposed to his way to make sure he was going in the right direction. Yes, kidnapping and murder is b’h fairly rare, however, lost children, missing children are not. Children being given some freedom for the first few times/months is also not so rare, it’s a regular occurrence.As far as the Teddy clip goes, it’s also more useful than you think. Many parks are large, and have several areas for kids to run and climb. It can be very worrisome when parks have multiple exits and you have multiple children where some have a tendency to try to run out of the park, not understanding gates and boundaries.

Not all will opt for this, but some might, so why not discuss it?
