Joseph B., parent, requesting GTXC product information, June 6, 2007: "Looking forward to seeing your company corner the industry on research and marketing of a wearable location device (realtime) for children and women that are risks for abduction.

If your as cutting edge as I've heard and hope, maybe GTXC will be the one to turn the James Bond techno gadgets of the past, a reality of mammoth proportion. Imagine a 12yr old girl scared beyond comprehension after abduction, and your innovative technology gets her back in 20min. Your stock would go through the roof. As I'm writing this I'm listening about the missing suburban Kansas City teen, Police found a body in the area where they were looking for the teenager who has been missing for four days after apparently being abducted from a department store parking lot.

Tim Sylvester, parent. I am the father of a 13 year old Autistic son who recently ran away from home. It took us about an hour to track him down, luckily we did. However, I fear this might happen again and we may not be so lucky. After scouring the INTERNET for ways to track with today's technology and came across your website. Nik is very particular about what he will wear and what he will carry, but this sneaker idea may be what we, and many other families in our situation would need.
Emiy Silverness, parent, April 18, 2007. I am searching your site for prices on products. Can't find. Do you have a catalog or something? I'm looking for gps location device for a child that's young enough where cell phones aren't allowed in schools, would probably lose it if she had it anyways, and realistically wouldn't most kidnappers take away a cell phone?- but a shoe- now that was a good idea! Probably more likely to wear out than a watch or bracelet though.
Misty A Courtemanche, parent, April 24, 2007. I have a 12 year old son with autism and I am in desperate need of a way to keep track of him. He has no safety awareness and will bolt. I almost lost him in a river this past weekend so I can not say how much this product is needed for him and his family.
