Alternatively the perfect app to allow you to let your children have freedom to go out by themselves but still to coerce response when it's needed.

It seems a reasonable quid pro quo to me - I give you this tool which is the pinnacle of consumer communication devices but if I need to talk to you then it's locked until you respond.

Doesn't it mean that children who aren't so trustworthy get the benefit of being allowed out when otherwise they wouldn't?
