According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, roughly 800,000 children are reported missing each year. That's over 2,000 a day. Shocking, isn’t it?

When I was a kid, my friends and I spent our hours after school meandering the neighborhood. Mom and Dad had no idea where I was or what I was doing. In summer…sun up; I’m gone. I was a racecar pulling in for a PB&J pit stop around noon, and dinner was just a distraction. I was gone for hours upon hours. No big deal. Today? Different world!

My daughter is almost 10. If she is three minutes late from a bike ride, her mom and I are freaking out. We lose sight of her at the park and we panic. On vacation? When I am not playing with her, I am a CIA agent scanning the crowd for suspicious characters.

So how can we keep our kids safe in today’s modern world? No tool or device will keep your kids safe 100% of the time, but here are five things you can do to mitigate the risks:

1. Family Talk

2. ID Card

3. Child ID Kit

4. Emergency Hot Spots

5. kidsport GPS Tracking Device
– The kidsport GPS band is a GPS tracking device developed specifically for kids that allows parents to locate their kids on their cell phones, iPads or computers. It features an alert button that sends you an immediate text if your child needs you; a secure latch to prevent unintended removal; a removal alert that texts you when the band is taken off; and a Geo-Fence Boundary Alert that sends you a text if the boundary you set is crossed. To find out more about kidsport GPS, visit – Whether you are at a playground, amusement park, ski slope, vacation resort, or any crowded location, always identify the nearest help and information centers, emergency stations, and police posts. Inform your children where to go and what to do in case of an emergency or if they get lost. – Prepare an ID kit for each child in the event that he or she is missing. The kit should include a physical description (nickname, date of birth, height, weight, gender, fingerprints, hair and eye colors, etc.), any identifying features (glasses, braces, scars, birthmarks, piercings, etc.), any medical information (conditions, disorders, diseases, medications, etc.), and, most importantly, an up-to-date, good quality digital photo. Be sure to take your kits with you on trips and vacations. – Create and give each child a laminated ID card with his or her name, date of birth, address, phone numbers, etc. If your child is too young or otherwise unable to speak for him or herself, consider writing the information somewhere on his or her clothing in permanent marker. – Take time to talk to your children about safety and abduction prevention. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has an excellent campaign called Take 25 (

No parent I know can imagine what it is like to have a child go missing. It is our greatest fear. But by educating a children and taking safety precautions, we can help reduce the chances of that ever happening. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (

not only looks cool, but the technology inside is truly amazing.

Wireless Module: World's smallest cell phone module with extremely low power consumption.

GPS Module: Ability to track location as accurately as 3 meters.

Custom Antennas: Highly sensitive cell and GPS antennas, custom designed for maximum performance.

Rechargeable Battery: High-powered Lithium polymer battery insures long life throughout an active day of fun!

The technology in the band is much like a cell phone and sends location data in two ways: on a set time schedule (for example, every 10 minutes) and ON-DEMAND. When you hit the location refresh button on the app, it sends a signal through the cell chip in the band, which tells us we need the most up to date location. The band then sends the location back through the cell chip and back to the app. A lot gets done in a very short period of time. It's easy! Just download the kidsport GPS app to your smartphone. Create a password. Snap photos of your kids. And let them go.
