TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - School starts Monday for students in Leon County, and your child's safety is a priority.

Tallahassee police discussed different gadgets that can help parents keep an eye on their little one, including watches equipped with mapping devices that children can wear on their wrists. Children can also make phone calls with the numbers parents program into those devices.
