Haven't these kid centric phones failed every time?

I remember a few years back, they tried a kids phone. I think it had 4 buttons, one was 911 and the others could be programmed for the parents and one extra emergency contact. It didn't work then, why would they think a format change will work any better.
The problem is a child young enough to use one of these, should be under adult supervision.
...
Yep, and a child old enough to be out on their own enough to maybe need something like this won't be caught dead wearing it.
Oh, and the device you're thinking of was called the Firefly.
...
That was it! I was trying to remember the name as I was reading the threads.
I was thinking the same thing, though. Nothing seems to be working when it comes to kid-friendly devices. Maybe a back-pack with built-in GPS and charging cables...?
...
There is actually a company out there called kajeet that is actually doing fairly well. I got them for my child and the gps logging is really cool. tells me where she is at every day at the times i request.
...
Or at least says where the device is 😉
Kids can be more illusive than you think.

My fear is not that my child is skipping school it is more of that the boogie man ate them. If there phone is checking into school and home at the right times i can feel safe.
However, if there phone keeps showing it is in a ditch then i have something to worry about...
...
That's fair. It's these overbearing parents that try and track everything they do. The kids will quickly realize they can get away with skipping school if they leave their phone in their locker then ditch out.
...
Maybe we should have better parents parenting. Back when I was a kid, (here we go) I went to school. Went home. Went to a friends house, I would call my parents to let them know.
