Tyler, TX — If you're a parent, your kids coming across a sex offender can be your worst nightmare.

Your kids safety should be a priority and a big concern. Kids are in schools, parents are a work, kids are playing with their friends, everyone is on the go these days and don't think about their surroundings.

Parents are using technology to track their kids and sex offenders. Besides tracking sex offenders through the Texas Department of Public Safety "Sex Offender Registry" you can also track them from a device, a GPS device.

Russell Thornton, a father and Founder of "Amber Alert GPS" created a device that helps track your kids by setting up zone alerts. The device can even notify a child if a sex offender is up to 500ft away.

Russell, himself has experienced losing his child at a Family Fun Center for 45 minutes. He would never want to experience that again, losing his 4-year-old son inspired Russell to create "Amber Alert GPS".

Many parents are seeking GPS devices to keep their kids safe because it's a way to keep parents and kids feeling secure when they are away from home.

Kids need to know... "Don't talk to strangers".

Teaching and talking to your kids about dangerous people like registered sex offenders can make kids become more aware.

Parents can search for sex offenders in their area by visiting the Texas Department of Public Safety "Sex Offender Registry", you can search a name, address and county to see who could be a threat in your area.

Nothing is more important than keeping your kids safe.
