1. A wearable monitoring alarm system comprising:

  • a first safety device worn by a supervising parent and an identical second safety device that is worn by a monitored child, that alerts the parent when said child is beyond a selected distance, or is close to a body of water, or is in a body of water, or said child signals they are in trouble, or said parent wishes to contact said child, which is capable of monitoring two additional children, each with their own said safety device, the system additionally comprising;

    a) a method to transmit to and receive data between each safety device;

    b) a method to designate and synchronize the first safety device as the parent safety device and the second safety device as the child;

    c) a method for a data stream to be transmitted from the parent safety device to the child safety device and to be visually displayed on the child safety device;

    d) a method for a data stream to be transmitted from the child safety device to the parent safety device to be visually displayed on the parent safety device;

    e) a method to determine and alert the parent safety device that the child safety device is in the close proximity of a body of water;

    f) a method to detect and alert the parent safety device that the child safety device is in a body of water;

    g) a method to determine when a child safety device is beyond a selected distance from the parent safety device;

    h) a method to send a panic signal from the child safety device to the parent safety device;

    i) a method to communicate and synchronize with a second child and a third child wearing an identical safety device as the first child;

    wherein a set of antenna elements in the parent safety device and a set of antenna elements in the child safety device are used to facilitate radio frequency transmit and receive data;

    wherein a phased-array radar system in each of the safety devices remotely senses the near proximity of a large body of water thereby causing a condition sequence code to be sent from the child safety device to the parent safety device causing the parent safety device to produce an audible and a visual alert;

    wherein a series of water sensors detect when the child safety device becomes submersed in a body of water thereby causing a condition sequence code to be sent from the child safety device to the parent safety device causing the parent safety device to produce an audible and a visual alert; and

    wherein a power detector in the parent safety device determines when the second safety device is beyond the selected distance thereby causing a condition sequence code to be sent from the child safety device to the parent safety device causing the parent safety device to produce an audible and a visual alert.
