It seems as if cell phone could be the protection that parents expecting the kids to have freedom and be safe have been looking for. Let's 41your 11-year-old son is going on a long bike ride with a friend, so they take along your cell phone 42they need help. Not only could they call you if necessary, but 43Global Positioning Systems (GPS) equipped on many mobile phones today, your son and his friend could also be 44easily. Plus, with an additional service, you could track the boys' 45location. Or consider this: If your daughter is 46herself and three friends to a concert, she could 47out exactly how to locate the concert location and get back home by using her equipped cell phone.And through a(n) 48software package,you could 49her whereabouts (行踪).
50tracking devices as we all consider useful, however, have 51.If the boys urgently needed help during the ride, 52might be too late by the time someone found them. And if they wanted to, the concert-going girls could deviate (偏离) from the 53route and go to a night club after the 54-they could turn off the phone or leave it in their own car and drive with someone else.
Cell phones and their accompanying programs are tools for 55children safely today, but all of them are 56extremely reliable. Under no circumstances does 57else replace a well-established parent-child relationship 58love and trust.
If you do decide to let your kids use these devices, don't rely 59on them for protection. Your children need you watching them- 60will never take the place of your time, attention, eyes, and ears when overseeing your child's whereabouts.
