Amber Alert GPS™ Child Safety Blog

I have been thinking a lot lately about this boy that was kidnapped in Las Vegas, for whom the Amber Alert system had been activated.

Fortunately, everything worked out just fine. The boy was found safe and sound walking down a street in Vegas. I hate to be self-promoting, but our Amber Alert GPS system would have saved the nation of an Amber Alert and, more importantly, it would have saved the family of this boy all the anguish I am sure they went through.

If they had just had this little device in the pocket or backpack or belt of their son, they could have called the Amber Alert GPS unit with their cell phone and, presto, they would have known exactly where he was. Especially with the new 2G model coming out in February, they could have located him within 10-15 feet of his actual location!

Holy Cow! What stress that would have prevented. Oh well…folks just need to be educated about the unit. As a matter of fact, we just put up a power point presentation about how it works along with some videos explaining how it could help you as a parent on the home page. Here is a link to the powerpoint presentation;

Well, I’m glad I got this off my chest. It is so frustrating that I can’t tell the world right now that we can save lives…that children can be tracked when they are out of our sight…that we can have some bloody peace of mind when our kids leave the safe haven of our home.

Don’t mind me…I’m just a rambling mom…

P.S. By the way, I should tell everyone that our regular/current Amber Alert GPS units are virtually sold out. If you want the new, exciting Amber Alert GPS 2G, you will have to pre-order them. They come out in February 2009 and the pricing right now on the pre-order is the same as the current model. The prices will go up come February…FYI.

We are so excited at Amber Alert GPS.com because our gps unit is very close to being ready to apply for FCC approval. Though it is not required for sales to folks like you and I, it makes us feel better knowing that it is approved by a government agency. It just further validates what we are doing and lends confidence to our users. This is not some cheap, fly-by-night outfit that is just selling gps units to make a few bucks. Heck no. We are all parents of children and have a vested interest in the safety of them. This translates into fanatical principles of the company who want to have the best for their children. This translates into a bettre, more effective product for you and your children.

We will keep you posted as to the updates of the application and approval process. We are tentatively shooting for July, 2008 for approval. Many of the existing components of the unit are FCC approved, but it is now time to have the whole unit approved as a final product.
