Sometimes protecting your children can do a lot more harm if the technology fails!
This harmless looking watch from SMA M2 that tracks your child, allows you to talk and message them has a serious security flaw that can allow an attacker to intercept and take control of the watch, which scarily include:
Changing the GPS reporting location; blocking communication to parents and able to talk or message the child.
The watch costs $32 – be wary of cheap s*it
