Because a house arrest ankle bracelet is slightly extreme for the situation!
Long story short, a parent I know is having issues with a kid not being where they are supposed to be and they would like alternatives as far as keeping tags on their location.
It is a lot more complex than that, but that's the basic idea. Since it isn't my child, I really don't want to give out to much info.

I realize that a smart phone can do the same thing, so this might actually be an option if the cost is low enough.
There are a lot of free security apps for smartphones with a gps-based "find my phone" function bundled in (example). Best approach for this would be to play up the other reasons for installing this kind of app.

Not really sure that this helps but I found this item to be neat. I don't think it actively transmits constantly though/findable on maps in the nature needed.

Ya, fair enough. I just was thinking with the ages of your kids that you would probably be able to keep track of them, but then maybe you let them take the C-Train across the city or something!

This is actually what my wife suggested when she called and asked me about it.
Technically, it would work, but only if the app had enough penetration in the market, since any tile can be tracked by any app and then transmit the location back to the owner.
I doubt that it is at that stage yet, though.

I half-joked about implanting a GPS chip in my son shortly after he was born.
Sometimes I kinda wish I did.
