Why more and more parents are choosing to use a tracker for their children
Share
Imagine for a moment: your child walks home from school alone, crosses busy streets, sometimes stops with friends... or decides to take a different route. In these moments of inattention or unforeseen circumstances, a loss of direction can occur. In an uncertain world, many parents see trackers as a tool for security and peace of mind .
1. Missing children remain a major challenge
-
In 2024 in France, 38,477 reports of missing minors were recorded, or an average of 105 children per day .
-
Of these reports, 95% were runaways , that is, voluntary or unannounced departures but often with happy endings.
-
There has also been an increase in disturbing disappearances and parental abductions , more serious cases that require rapid action.
These figures remind us of a truth: even if many disappearances are solved, every minute counts, every alert is crucial.
2. Digital monitoring: a modern and widespread response
-
In the United States, about half of parents report using location apps to track their teens' movements.
-
Some parents do not inform their children about the monitoring: more than 1 in 3 parents would have done so without the child's knowledge.
-
Among these tools, dedicated trackers (and not just smartphone applications) are gaining popularity, because they provide autonomy , reliability and simplicity .
3. Tracking a child: towards a balance between trust and security
Benefits
-
Immediate reaction : in the event of an unusual route or delay, the parent receives an alert.
-
Peace of mind : know where the child is without disturbing them.
-
Discreet support : the tracker works in the background, without disrupting the child's daily life.
Limits & Precautions
-
Respect the child's privacy : explain the system, establish communication.
-
Do not become invasive surveillance: the tracker must not replace dialogue.
-
Place the device in a discreet but functional location (location where the signal works well).

5. Practical advice for responsible use
-
Talk to your child about it: transparency, trust and respect are essential.
-
Define “safe” zones together (school, home, regular route) and receive an alert if the child deviates from them.
-
Regularly check the operation of the tracker (battery, signal).
-
Combine the tracker with safety choices (safe routes, groups of friends, address of a reference teacher) rather than relying solely on technology.
