Have you ever heard a parent say that the kids are out of control? Have you ever heard a teacher say she spends more time in the classroom babysitting that teaching? Have you ever heard a couple in a restaurant complain the children of another are behaving very poorly? Of course we have all heard such complaints and we know that this is part of growing up and part of the challenge of controlling the little tyrants.

As parents, we start right away by using different techniques to control our own children. We have cribs with cages, pacifiers to prevent crying, toys to keep little humans busy, Mobiles, Lincoln Logs, Erector Sets, Legos, Dolls, Tonka Toys and just walk down any Wal-Mart Toy section and tell us we have not come a long way since you were a kid.

Today it seems we have an increasing number of options, as now we have friends and family programs for teens and cell phones to keep track of them. We had pagers in the last decade. We have new technologies coming out now with 3G technologies which identify the location of the child. We have GPS units, Active RFID Tags, to find children, watches with ELTs, RFID and/or GPS. In our schools we have new technologies to track kids all the way from their house using such devices described above to the bus stop, once at the bus stop, on the bus and in schools.
