Guardian Angel monitors childrens' whereabouts by SMS

A new system allows parents to keep a closer eye on the movements of their children via their mobile phones, according to an article in the BBC. It will send text alerts to their mobile phone if the child deviates too far from that route or takes too long getting there.

Made by French mobile firm Alcatel, the system takes advantage of the existing mobile phone network to locate a child's whereabouts rather than using global positioning systems like some location-based services.
