A fancy dress shop developed a tracking device for costumes just in time for Halloween. For 500 parents can monitor their child's trick-or-treat route on their home computer using global positioning technology, reported The Times. Angels Fancy Dress emphasised that its device is no substitute for parental supervision. Some parents in New York have taken to licence-plating their baby's pushchair 'so that concerned passers-by can rat on underperforming nannies via a website', according to The Daily Telegraph. Visitors to the site, HowsMyNanny.com, also have the option to praise 'noteworthy positive interaction'.
