Safety & Security of Children & Senior Citizens

Safety & Security of Children & Senior Citizens

                In the environment existing in Indian cities and towns, the concept of nuclear families is prevalent. In addition, the old people are generally neglected and left on their own. Many old persons, who can afford, stay in Old Age Homes. While some of the Homes for Old do look after them, others do not bother much. The parents of children who are working are always worried about safety and security of the children who are at school or are at home with maids. There have been cases wherein children have been kidnapped while going to or returning from schools, some maids had tied up with beggars to take the child for begging and many relatives of old people are worried about safety and health of the old parents who are on their own or are located in Old age Homes. In order to obviate the above mentioned issues, the succeeding paragraphs have suggested electronic solutions to obviate the problems.

                In order to keep a constant tag on children, there are devices that have GPS mounted in them and have also an alarm in case required when the safety or health of the child is affected. These devices can be designed in shape of wrist watches and children guided to wear them all the time whenever they are out of home. The parents can track their location on smart phones, the GPS mounted in device always indicates its location and the map in the smart phone of the parent/s tracks the same. In case of an emergency, the child has to press the alarm button on the device and the parent/s receive the alarm on their smart phone/s for further action. The same device can be worn by old people even when they are at home and alarm can be initiated in case of an emergency.

                Some schools have CCTV cameras installed in classrooms as well as other important locations of in the school premises. If these cameras are digital, the images captured by camera/s can be video streamed to the laptops or smart phones of the parents. The parents can connect their laptops/smart phones on the unique IP address of the particular camera and see their child. Similar system can be installed in homes wherein the children are left in the care of maids for a longer duration while the parents are away at their job. Even to keep an eye on old people at home to obviate any mishap similar system can be installed.
