Abstract: In recent years, the increasing number of incidents related to missing children and child safety has created a strong need for reliable and intelligent monitoring systems. This paper proposes a smart child tracking and safety system that uses Internet of Things (IoT) technology integrated with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) for real-time location monitoring and emergency communication. The proposed system enables parents or guardians to continuously track the child’s location through a mobile application and receive instant notifications whenever the child moves outside a predefined safe zone. The system also includes an emergency alert feature that allows immediate communication during critical situations. The proposed model is designed with a focus on accuracy, low power consumption, affordability, and ease of use, making it suitable for practical day-to-day applications. The integration of geofencing and real-time data transmission improves the efficiency and reliability of child monitoring in crowded places such as schools, malls, parks, and public transport areas. Experimental analysis shows that the system provides fast response time, reliable location tracking, and improved child security compared to conventional monitoring methods.This research contributes toward the development of a cost-effective and user-friendly child safety solution capable of reducing risks associated with child loss, kidnapping, and unauthorized movement. The proposed system demonstrates how modern wireless communication and IoT technologies can be effectively utilized to enhance child protection and parental confidence in real-world environments
