PC is the first step into socialism. Sorry, but we are heading towards more PC behaviour and not less...

You would assume that this would be a great place to have a civil discussion on technology providing safety for children. Unfortunately that is not the case. It has been my experience that the readers of this forum tend to be paranoid. They are afraid of monitoring of any type, as you can tell from the many posts suggesting that you are somehow over reacting. Big brother is mentioned more in the /. forum than anywhere else on the planet... This is a group who really is afraid of having someone look at them without their knowledge and this overwhelming fear extends to others by proxy. To actually answer your question; I can't help a lot. I did some research last year on devices for my children and decided that a cell phone is not a bad idea, but, in my case, it is going to have to wait a few years so that the little ones can appreciate the value of the device and not lose it. Check out what Verizon has to offer. That is what I did. -I think a lot of the posters here have never known the heart dropping feeling of haveing a lost child (even for a minute)... If they had, the posts would not have been so glib. Good luck in your hunt.

Hey you left out 17.5% sales tax and nearly 50% income tax to cover all that better insurance, universal health care and time off from work. Oh and the $10.00 a gallon gas cost (%50 - %60 in tax). Who would want to miss out on that?
