Global positioning satellite tracking device

The method of tracking continuously the location of a child utilizing a global positioning and tracking system comprising the steps of:

• a) placing a wrist band containing a tracking device on the wrist of said child which is lacking of any visible indication of its function, said tracking device including a processing device for determining the location of the tracking device and generating a position signal and a transmitter for transmitting said position signal;
• b) strategically positioning a relay station about a desired monitoring area including means for receiving said position signal and determining if said received position signal is a valid signal and means for relaying said position signal upon determining said position signal is valid;
• c) establishing a tracking satellite for receiving the validated position signal from said tracking device and retransmitting said position signal;
• c) establishing a central monitoring station for receiving said validated position signal from said relay station or said tracking satellite and analyzing said position signal for monitoring the position of said tracking device;
• d) said wrist band comprising a decorative face plate, first and second bands of rigid inflexible material extending from opposite sides of said face plate forming a loop for surrounding the wrist of a user, the free end of one band includes a pair of prong shafts for locking the two bands together, one of said bands having a hinged section extending from the free end thereof;
• and
• e) said decorative face plate having embedded therein said processing device, a transmission wire extending from one end of said face plate through said first and second bands to the opposite end of said face plate for completing the circuit in said processing device so that when said first and second bands are apart said tracking unit is nonfunctional and when said first and second bands are engaged said tracking unit is functional.
