Child Monitoring Using Geofencing and IoT

Child Monitoring Using Geofencing and IoT

Abstract—Child abuse and neglect are serious global problems which occurs in different situations, for a different range of reasons at different places. There are 90% of children undergoing devastating problem all over the world, where these factors may affect the child very seriously and cause a long-lasting, psychological damage. Everyone should be aware that victims of child abuse come from all socioeconomic background. Most of the abuse happens due to lack of knowledge and training in parenting skills. Preventing child abuse before it starts is possible and requires a cross-sectoral approach. In this project, we add up technologies such as IoT, NOIR camera and geofencing technique to reduce the child abuse ratio. This appears to be the best solution for parents to monitor their child activities and easy to find the abuser.
