If abductions are not an issue, couldn't lost kids simply ask strangers for directions?
Unless you talk about the wilderness.
Actually when I let my kids go outside alone, I usually give them a phone. I live in a big city. Reception could be a problem in the countryside.
Of course, this unreasonable fear of abductions means that a commercial GPS tracker for kids would sell much better if it supported the "abducted kid" use case well, on top of more likely use cases.
