How to NOT loose your Kid !

I got this picture few days ago. It sure looks cute. Besides, check the picture, it even has little wings :).

This is one of the few ways to keep an eye on your kid. There is one more high tech though...

Docomo, is one of the main mobile phone providers in japan (it was first few years ago, but the agressive competitors, brought SoftBank mobile to get more than 50% of the market share).

One of the services by Docomo, is called "imadoco". The word is a nice play of words. "Ima Doko" in japanese means "Now, where?". Parents can subscribe to this service and have the phone provider send them an email if their kids go out a certain range or out of a predetermined zone. Besides parents, this service can be shared with friends, that, of course, need to approve it first.

Well, i'm not sure how much this service is used but sure can lead to some privacy issues ;)...
