Location Tracking: Keeping an Eye on Your Kids’ Whereabout

As much as we'd like to keep our kiddos wrapped up in bubble wrap forever, the reality is they're spreading their wings and venturing out into the world more independently than ever before. Whether heading to school, hanging out at a friend's house, or meeting new friends, our children navigate a landscape filled with exciting possibilities and potential dangers.

Now, I don't mean to sound alarmist, but let's talk about something that can send shivers down any parent's spine: kids going missing. It's a nightmare scenario we all hope never to experience, but the sad truth is that it happens more often than we'd like to admit.

According to data released by the FBI in 2022, there were a staggering 359,094 entries in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) for missing children. This figure is not just a statistic; it represents individual children who have gone missing, leaving families and communities in distress.

What is perhaps even more alarming is the frequency at which children go missing. In every city, town, park, and school nationwide, a child disappears every 40 to 90 seconds.

Every lost child means a family in distress, dealing with worries and uncertainty. And it's not just about them; it ripples through the whole community. When a child goes missing, it shakes up the trust and safety that hold our neighborhoods close-knit.

The challenge seems humongous. How can parents protect their children? The answer is using a family locator. 

Location tracking helps parents ensure kids' safety by knowing their whereabouts. Knowing where our kids are ensures their well-being. A parent needs to be  aware of their children's locations. Tracking helps parents respond quickly to emergencies. It also helps in supervising kids' activities and routines efficiently. 

Mobicip is a parental control app loved and trusted by millions of parents. With Mobicip, you get fantastic tools to make sure your kids are surfing the web safely, including a family locator feature that helps you keep track of where they are. In this blog, we will explore family locator in more depth, how it works, and the features of Mobicip's Family Locator.

What is a Family Locator and How Does It Work?

A family locator acts as a radar for your family, using GPS to track their location in real time. You can keep tabs on your kids without being a helicopter parent, just check the map. It is handy for peace of mind when they're out and about. You'll know if they're at school, the mall, or a friend's crib. No more guessing games or constant texts asking, "Where are you?" It's having eyes everywhere without the creep factor—just a helpful tool for keeping your crew safe.

Family Locators come in handy with a host of benefits. I have compiled a list for your understanding.
