Would you get these for your kid. GPS tracker trainers?

This looks like something out of a spy thriller but there are real... cool trianers/sports shoes that have a gps tracker in them and a panic button linked to a monitoring centre so you know where your kids are on the internet and the kid can tie his shoe laces and send s ignal to the cops etc hes in toruble and give his exact location and continually do so.





How many parents would get these for their kids?

ie trainers with a GPS satellite tracker and panic button in them thats linked to a call centre.





Best bit would be if they got nicked the cops could follw the trainers

Dude, get him some Nike Air Force 1's or some bapes..those are what's IN STYLE AND WILL ALWAYS BE IN STYLE.. not some ga.y a.ss shoes.. jesus lord.. and parents ask why their kids get bullied.. ;
Reply:|Anything that assists in the safety of my child like this I would get
Reply:Heck Ya, looks cool to me
Reply:lol there good dont like the style thow lol ide take the chip out put em in someothers lol
Reply:I think I would have to discuss it seriously with my children before I even considered it. But as neither of mine live at home anymore and one isn't even a child anymore it's not likely to be an issue.
Reply:i would get those for my kid, better safe than sorry
Reply:They are neat but too expensive. Not many people will buy them unless they are rich...lol.


Now what happens if these get popular. Kidnappers will know to take the kids shoes off and leave them before kidnapping.
Reply:I saw these shoes on the news and they were about $300 a pair. I would not spend that much for something they may lose or out grow in a few months.
Reply:I think making your child wear these shoes would give him or her an unnecessary fright of this world. They would feel vulnerable and out of control without their "special" shoes.





Besides, it would only be a matter of time before kidnappers started taking off the kid's shoes and dumping them before running off with the kid.





Instead, we're better off teaching our children real-life survival skills. Teach them the importance of never going anywhere alone, make sure we keep track of them all day, every day, especially between 4 and 8 pm, when the most kids are left alone.
Reply:hehe - nice idea, see the use





but no i wouldnt, i trust my children, and i trust in my and my wifes ability as parents to have taught them to be responcible outside.
