Based on the safety plan including “installing a location tracking app on the child’s phone”, the kid has a phone and could easily call for help or be called if there was a concern.

Children used to ride bikes much farther then a mile without even a quarter in their pocket to pay for a phone call.

Never needed money when you could call collect and when prompted for a name you gave a speedy, “mom pick me up at the mall!!” And of course she’d decline the call.
