What is Geofencing?

Basically, geofencing uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) or RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to create a virtual boundary in the real world. Along with the GPS and RFID technology, it further relies on a phone’s cellular data or Wi-Fi network to work as a tracker. Overall, as a parent, you can develop different imaginary boundaries for your child to restrict them to a specific geographic area. If the marked territory is then breached, i.e., the device enters or leaves that designated area, an action is triggered.

What are the Geofence Alerts?

Upon marking a geofence, a push notification or an alert is sent to your phone. However, the exact nature of the action depends on the software in use. So to track your kid’s whereabouts, you can get geofence alerts. For example, if you marked an area, say a bar, as a restricted area, the next time your kid visits it, you will automatically receive an instant notification on your device via email.

Why Do You Need the Geofencing Alerts?

One in five teenagers who regularly use the internet say they have received an unwanted sexual solicitation via the Web.
In more than 95% of the cases, teens have gone willingly to meet sexual predators.
Around 3.2 million children are abused in the U.S. every year – losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse.
If you are a working parent, you can ensure your kids' safety using geofencing technology anytime, anywhere.
If you suspect your kid could be involved in drinking alcohol or drug abuse, you can set alerts on all the bars, clubs, and pubs.

How Would Geofencing Help You as a Parent?

Mark Safe Zones

Geofencing can make your parenting task easy by enabling you to mark safe zones like school and home. By setting up imaginary boundaries around the school area on their mobile phone or tablet, you can know where your kids are at all times and also get instant alerts if a child leaves the designated area. Likewise, while you are busy at work, you can still get to know that your kid has safely reached home, or conversely, has sneaked out of the marked home perimeter.

Mark Unsafe Zones

If you don't want your kid to visit a club or bar, a geofencing alert can notify you that your kid has entered your specified unsafe place. Since kids can be naïve at times, they are often lured into dangerous friendships by other imprudent kids or adults. If you suspect your kid of violating your explicit warnings not to visit a particular place, the geofence alerts will definitely let you know if your kid breaches the "no-safe zone."

How to Track Your Kids with the Geofencing Alerts?
