Abstract

A child tracking system includes an electronic device that may be manipulated by a first user. The electronic device has a first transceiver and the first transceiver is in electrical communication with an extrinsic communication network. A tracking unit is provided and the tracking unit is worn on a second user. The tracking unit has a second transceiver and the second transceiver is in remote communication with the electronic device via the extrinsic communication network. The tracking unit selectively transmits a first signal to the electronic device to alert the first user that the second user needs assistance. The tracking unit selectively transmits a second signal to emergency responders via the extrinsic communication network to notify the emergency responders that the second user needs assistance.
