TAMPA, Fla. – A Florida company selling GPS ankle monitors for parents to know where their children are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The ankle bracelet would give parents the location of their kid no matter what. The bracelet would even let parents know if the child was trying to tamper with the monitor or take it off.

The owner of Tampa Bay Monitoring, Frank Kopczynski, told WAGA he started up the service when a mother called him asking for help after her daughter kept running away.
The service can cost $8 or $10 a day.
Some could see why this is a good idea, others think it is way too extreme.
