GPS-equipped uniforms to be introduced for children's safety

In Japan, there are already families who give their children mobile phones equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System) and security devices such as CocoSecom for safety reasons, but a British uniform manufacturer is going one step further and is planning to release uniforms equipped with GPS.

Will the day come when similar uniforms appear in Japan?

Details are as follows.

According to the article, Trutex, a uniform manufacturer based in Lancashire, England, plans to install GPS tracking devices in school uniforms to allow parents to keep track of their children's whereabouts at all times.

A Trutex survey of 800 parents found that 44% were concerned about their child's safety, and 59% said they would be interested in purchasing GPS-enabled uniforms. A similar survey of children under the age of 12 also found that half would be willing to wear such uniforms.

The school also claims that introducing these uniforms will reduce the number of unauthorized absences. While this all sounds like a good thing, the fact that children's safety cannot be ensured without a GPS device makes me feel like we live in a very dangerous world.
