I’m a big fan of what Jiobit is doing: https://www.jiobit.com/ https://www.jiobit.com/ The core team is all ex-Moto engineers and was built from the ground up

  Is there any reason you used the past-tense for what they're attempting? They seem like a fully functional company from the URL given.

  I like those devices too, but they, and all other kids smart-watches, have the same issue - huge attach surface due to use of cloud-based third party servers to gather and display information, change configuration of the device with a parent's smartphone via an app. I, personally, don't care about that level of convenience, which imposes lower security. I would prefer information about location to arrive even via SMS/email in form of good-old GPS coordinates, which can be requested only from a list of pre-approved phone numbers, all of which are configured using physical USB connection. The only problem with such an approach is hijacking of the phone number of one of parents, but that is very unlikely.

    Apple device location sharing (including Apple Watch) uses end-to-end encryption with keys shared between devices when you explicitly accept a location sharing request or explicitly turn on the Find My X functionality, which is probably the closest thing on the market to what you're looking for. You definitely pay the premium for the effort put into it, though.
