This project aims to develop a smart and wearable device for children that is compatible with any cell phone. It focuses on providing parents with an easy and reliable tool for locating their children. The device utilizes SMS text messaging as a communication channel, allowing parents to receive real-time location updates and directions through Google Maps. It also provides temperature information for monitoring environmental conditions. Recognizing the potential unreliability of technology, the project emphasizes the importance of a backup plan involving nearby individuals for assistance. The device is equipped with a bright SOS light and distress alarm buzzer, which can be activated via SMS to signal a distress situation. This visual and audible distress signal can be recognized by passersby, enabling them to offer help or notify parents. Overall, the goal is to create a user-friendly wearable device that enhances child safety and provides a sense of security for parents
