END OF LOST GENERATION

Children may soon find that Big Mother is watching them.

An electronic satellite tagger that can only be removed by a computer will go on sale in Britain within months.


The Wherify watch will allow parents to track their children to within feet anywhere in the country.

Wherify Wirless, which is selling the watches for £99, says they will provide comfort for worried parents.

Missing children could be tracked down in minutes.

The Wherify GPS locator watch is fastened to a child's wrist and can only be removed remotely.

It has been a hit in the United States, among carers of the elderly or those with Alzheimer's disease as well as parents.

Children's groups fear it could be misused by parents or become a substitute for adult supervision.

There is also concern it could be tapped into by strangers.

Dr Chris Hanby, of Barnado's, told The Times: "Our understanding so far is that none of these tracking systems prevent those who are wanting inappropriate access to children from doing so."
