## Abstract

A digital wearable monitoring device with dual locking system allows parents to monitor and locate a missing or wandering child. The monitoring device is secured to a child and can be removed through biometric signatures of a parent or authorized guardians. The monitoring device is preferred to be a wrist strap; however, the present invention may take the form of a belt, necklace, bracelet, earring, or any other applicable clothing accessory. The monitoring device includes a tactile sensor and at least one input device. The tactile sensor allows the wearer to write, draw, or tap a message to be processed and transmitted to a parent or authority. A location device then allows the parent or authority to locate and rescue the wearer.
