From The Telegraph:
School uniforms could be fitted with satellite technology to allay parents’ fears over child abduction.
Trutex, a specialist supplier, is considering putting GPS tracking devices in new clothes amid increasing concerns over safety.
The company surveyed 800 parents and found that more than two in five feared their young children were at risk of being snatched.
In addition, 59 per cent said they would be “interested” in some form of tracking device being added to school uniforms.
Erm… so we need to give child abductors more reasons to remove their victim’s clothing, do we?
Clearly any solution other than this just doesn’t cut the mustard I’m afraid, but it’s gonna need a fair bit of marketing money to shift those units…
