Not so long ago, Florida mom Jackie Giurleo, was terrified.
Because, she found an AirTag in her 7-year-old son's shoes that was "hidden and unaccounted for".
The family has never bought any tracking items for their son, let alone an AirTag.

At that moment, Giurleo fantasizes about all sorts of dark scenarios and suspects that his son is secretly being targeted by a stranger??
The hanging heart did not dare to fall for a long time.
Worried that something would happen to his son, Giurleo immediately called the police, hoping to catch this "insidious and terrifying" guy.
Outcome...
It all started at last year's Christmas parade, and after attending the event, Giurleo's phone suddenly received an alert about the presence of an AirTag nearby.
Then, a location map appeared on the phone.
"I've been to a lot of places. ”
After communicating with his son, Giurleo found that the map recorded almost all the places his son had visited after the march.
"It's every mother's worst nightmare. ”
Realizing that someone was most likely following his son, Giurleo became overwhelmed and rushed to his son's room and searched for all of his clothes, pants, and toys.
Finally, in a completely unexpected place, that AirTag was found:
"When we found it, my heart dropped. To be honest, my knees are dying, because it's in my son's shoes. ”
In a small hole the size of a quarter of the sole, a mysterious AirTag that has been tracking his son for nearly a month is hidden.
Giurleo惊慌失措,立马跑到警长办公室报警。
After receiving the report, the officers immediately began to investigate and subpoenaed Apple in the hope of obtaining the address of the owner of the AirTag.
Then, the truth emerged.
It turned out that all this was a false alarm, and there were no "bad people" targeting Giurleo's son at all.
It's just that the two children wore each other's shoes in the middle of the game.
During the Christmas parade, Giurleo's son and a child who had come here for a holiday went into the bouncy castle to play.

Because he was wearing the same shoes, after coming out of the bouncy castle, Giurleo's son accidentally put on the shoes of his vacation child.
The vacation child is from Oklahoma, and in order to avoid the child getting lost, the parents hid an AirTag on the sole of the shoe in advance to track the child's location.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Giurleo was relieved to learn that his son was safe.
After this "crisis", Giurleo admits that he also realizes that AirTag may be really necessary when taking children to theme parks or other large events.
One is that the AirTag is so small that children can hardly feel its existence, and the other is that parents can control their children at any time in case they get lost.
