In the present day, when we have been bombarded with reminders of the threats that exist out there, there is really no substitute for knowing where your kids are at all times of the day. We’ve all experienced that jolt at some point, where we wonder about the safety of our little ones – because at their age, everything is an adventure, and they don’t always get why we’d be nervous about their location.
It doesn’t even need to take an incident with one of your own kids to drive this message home. You can be watching a news report about an emergency situation taking place somewhere else entirely, and the most natural thing in the world is to put yourself in the shoes of the parents panicking about the safety of their kids. What would you do in their place? How would you handle that uncertainty?
Parents in the present day have an added wrinkle that many of our own parents never even had to consider – the threat that lurks online. Even when you can trust your own kid to the ends of the Earth, we know that there are people out there who aren’t so trustworthy – and that they can contact kids without their parents ever knowing. Even the most careful child can be vulnerable in the internet age, and it’s hard for any parent to stop worrying. That’s why Family Orbit could be such a huge help to so many concerned parents.
What is Family Orbit?
For any parent who loses sleep over the safety of their kids, Family Orbit presents a sophisticated tech solution that allows you to keep a benevolent eye on your child as they navigate the world. It allows parents to keep an eye on the location of their young ones and also gives them a look at texts, calls, photos, and WhatsApp messages that are being sent and received from their phones.
Family Orbit is an app that can be downloaded onto every family phone and allows parents to monitor their children’s movements, as well as the online content to which they are exposed on an everyday basis. If your child – by choice or by error – finds themselves in an area that is off-limits to them, you can take decisive action sooner and be able to get to them before it becomes a problem. You can set a “geofenced” area that your child is safe to move within, and receive alerts when they move outside of that area. You can then call or go find your child.
The unique features of Family Orbit
Family Orbit allows you to have a greater hand in the safety and security of your loved ones by way of three special, unique features:
Location History
Not only do you know where your child is right now, but you can also see where they have been. If there are repeated trips to an unfamiliar area, it gives you the chance to see what is in that area and figure out why they are going there. Along with the other features available on the app, you can use this to ensure your kids aren’t getting drawn into anything they shouldn’t be.
Geofencing
You know how innocently a kid can end up off the beaten track. As kids, most of us will have, every now and again, simply drifted outside of the areas that were familiar to us. Getting lost happens, but by use of the Geofencing feature of Family Orbit, you can ensure that your children aren’t drifting off into areas of town that may be dangerous to them. The moment you get an alert, you can call your kid or go to pick them up and get them out of harm’s way.
Check-in
Family Orbit allows your child to check in with you when they arrive safely at a destination. If they’re staying over with friends, they can ping you on arrival, every couple of hours, or whenever makes sense for you. Also, if there’s an emergency nearby – a transit accident, a police emergency, or any other event of concern – your kids can confirm with you that they are safe and you can check on the app to see where they are in relation to the event.

Discuss with your child the reasons why the app is necessary and why it will help both them and you – and show your trust in your kids by giving them the freedom to go out and expand their geofence as they show they are responsible. The benefits of Family Orbit are clear, so why not download it today and
