      Depends on the age. For a 3-5 year old prone to sneaking out on adventures it could be useful.

      Just one problem: Mine tended to attempt their escape barefoot.

        Exactly, for toddlers/children this can prove to be useful. This is not a product for older children or even teens, like it is assumed to be.

          I would actually live to see some sort of comedy sketch do this with one of those giant radio collars from the 1970s lol

        A bit of a cynical take, but it wouldn’t surprise me if ICE started throwing away shoes and phones onto the roadside.

            Sure, but knowing ICE took your kid doesn’t really do much to help get them back.

            ICE is now an extrajudicial secret police with even less oversight than the actual police. Even if someone knows ICE kidnapped their relative, nobody in the current administration is going to hold them accountable if they decide to lie and say “no we didn’t”. It took months to get back Abrego Garcia, and that was with the public eye on the situation and the entire Democratic Party pressuring them. For every one Abrego Garcia, there are thousands of people who are still unjustly locked up in a concentration camp.
