June 12 – The new service is called Verizon Chaperone. It connects a parent’s cell phone, with the child cell phone, called Migo.

The service is designed to help parents keep track of their kids using global positioning system or GPS technology. And moms that KAKE spoke with say they're all for it.

For busy families – it could be the simple solution – keep track of your pre-teen kids through their personal cell phone.

Verizon's chaperone service connects a parent's high-tech cell to the child-friendly Migo phone, it’s a small, green device that's preprogrammed with a home and emergency number. It’s easy for elementary aged kids to use, and peace-of-mind for parents.

GPS technology lets you at home know where your kid is at the touch of a button. Assuming, of course, your child actually has his or her phone.

The technology is only available as part of a family plan.

Verizon says that's because the demand is growing for more group rates and plans involving multiple phones with multiple lines, and multiple accessories.

It’s up to parents if it is worth the price. The GPS tracking service alone is a cost of 10 dollars a month. It’s an additional $10 to combine the GPS with another feature that alerts you if your child has traveled outside a specific area.

Verizon says it's the first to offer both, but also check with your own provider. If your cell provider doesn’t have the technology yet, chances are they soon will.
