Like the non war on cops, a very tiny number, roughly around 100 to 150 a year.

But I suppose you find that tearing this family apart and having these children abducted by the state is a better solution?
Fuck it, you know what?
I think all children should just have one of these devices
permanently attached at birth.
That's where all this is going anyway.

Ask yourself this question. Do I really know that my child or grandchild is safe at this very moment? Unless your child is physically in your care, you inevitably answered NO. Find that thought alarming? So did the SafeGUARD1gps team. In today’s world, there really is no “safe place” as there once was. Children can disappear in the blink of an eye sometimes by simply wandering away from a parent or guardian. Worse yet, they can be taken from a “safe” location just as fast thus becoming virtually untraceable to parents, law enforcement, school personnel ,etc. Using the very latest in GPS technology, the SafeGUARD1gps unit monitors your loved one constantly while reporting to its server every 15 minutes giving you virtually instantaneous knowledge and peace of mind concerning the safety of your child. With this innovative personal security device, you can monitor your child’s whereabouts at anytime from your home computer, office computer, cellular phone or any where the internet is available! The device also features one-touch dialing to any telephone number you choose for instant notification .
Consider this scenario, your child is victimized, most children under the age of 13 would be without a cell phone (or have time to use one) thus having no way to contact you. With the SafeGUARD1gps on their person, they simply hold the advanced S.O.S. button for five seconds thus generating their location information from the device to the web-server every two minutes for a duration of twenty minutes . This function is easily explainable to any child, just as teaching them "911" . Geo-fencing is yet another ground breaking feature of the unit. This feature allows you as the parent to set boundaries such as a designated mile/radius area that your child should be in for a given time simply by entering the set boundary information into our user friendly website. This feature also works well with teenagers as it also features set speed features as well as set boundaries. As soon as the boundary is breached—instant notification! Another great feature is the size of the unit. It will fit into a pocket, back-pack, lunch box, virtually un-noticed therefore allowing the child his or her own security system in just about any panic situation going virtually un-noticed by the assailant holding them captive. Concerned about the child possibly losing the device? Not to worry, the unit has a handy attachment gage where you simply attach a small cord, heavy string, etc. to clip safely onto or into your desired carrier whether it be a back-pack, lunch box or even their belt loop! Even babies and toddlers benefit from the device as it can be stowed in a diaper bag or stroller as well as attached inside their clothing.
Most of our children age 4 to 12 are not carrying a cell phone leaving them vulnerable to predators not expecting they are concealing a device like the SafeGUARD1gps unit. Peace of mind? Definitely. Consider also that mentally-challenged children and adults as well as elderly individuals disappear from homes, playgrounds, etc almost daily. By simply attatching the unit to their person, their whereabouts are traceable as well. Do you have an avid hunter, backpacker or hiker in your family? Imagine knowing their safety as well! The situations and scenarios mentioned herein are FACT. Take the appropriate measures today to ensure the safety and well-being of your family.
