It seems as if cell phone could be the protection that parents expecting the kids to have freedom and be safe have been looking for. Let's 41 your 11-year-old son is going on a long bike ride with a friend, so they take along your cell phone 42 they need help. Not only could they call you if necessary, but 43 Global Positioning Systems (GPS) equipped on many mobile phones today, your son and his friend could also be 44 easily. Plus, with an additional service, you could track the boys' 45 location. Or consider this: If your daughter is 46 herself and three friends to a concert, she could 47 out exactly how to locate the concert location and get back home by using her equipped cell phone.And through a(n) 48 software package,you could 49 her whereabouts (行踪).
50 tracking devices as we all consider useful, however, have 51 .If the boys urgently needed help during the ride, 52 might be too late by the time someone found them. And if they wanted to, the concert-going girls could deviate (偏离) from the 53 route and go to a night club after the 54 -they could turn off the phone or leave it in their own car and drive with someone else.
Cell phones and their accompanying programs are tools for 55 children safely today, but all of them are 56 extremely reliable. Under no circumstances does 57 else replace a well-established parent-child relationship 58 love and trust.
If you do decide to let your kids use these devices, don't rely 59 on them for protection. Your children need you watching them－ 60 will never take the place of your time, attention, eyes, and ears when overseeing your child's whereabouts.
