There is an option to have the software, which lets parents locate their children on a map and set a safe area for them to stay in, installed on their children\u2019s devices. However, 38% of parents in Nigeria claim they do not have it installed on any of their devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cModern times offer a wide range of tools which can help in preventing accidents in real or digital life. It is crucial to know how to use them, what their benefits are, and, actually, use them.
