Children's Safety
I was thinking last night, as a culmination of a number of our ideas, what about a watch-type device that alerts children (and/or) parents if the child comes within x many metres of a known paedophile?
Since many such offenders wear tags which allow their movements to be tracked, the device in question is quite feasable. GPS technology for this type of device already exists, albeit not for this purpose as far as I am aware.
The device could vibrate or something if a known offender is in the area, warning children who may otherwise be unaware of any dangers. It could also be used to track the children by parents, perhaps by a webbased interface - available from anywhere.

This isn't a feasible idea. If we go back only a couple of years when a popular British newspaper published details about local paedophiles, we saw what the community are willing to do. This device could act as a method for attacking these people. I would dismiss this device completely, but the group have to decide.
I agree with Elliot, a device such as this will easily be taken advantage of.
