On July 28, 2015, Texas mom Kathy Gilray fastened an AngelSense GPS tracking and voice monitoring device to the clothing of her 15-year-old daughter with Asperger syndrome. Three weeks later, the Israeli-made system saved the teenager’s life.
“We have been looking for a solution to help us keep our daughter safe for over a year,” Gilray wrote in a blog on the AngelSense website.
“At 4:10pm on Aug. 17th, our daughter went out for one of her regular walks in our neighborhood. She was lured into a car only 150 yards from our house by a stranger who threatened to hurt her. AngelSense alerted us via email and SMS text that our daughter was not on her usual route. When I received the alert, I entered my AngelSense app in Runner mode, which shows her route.”
Gilray pinpointed the teen’s location, headed there in her car, and activated the device’s Listen-In feature. She heard a struggle and then heard the attacker ask her daughter about the device. “She told him it was a GPS tracker. He told her to take it off, but she told him only her mom could take it off with a special key.”
