Verizon Wireless is about to launch a service called Chaperone. For $20 a month, parents can establish a virtual fence around a child's school during set hours and receive a text message when a kid goes outside the boundary. Similarly, Wherify Wireless is planning to peddle a locator phone in the back-to-school timeframe.

Lots of potential with that on the web too...

My dog has a microchip/locator. Are parents chipping their kids now? ;)
