        abstract = {The IoT-Connected Parental Safety System is an intelligent, end-to-end platform that integrates distributed IoT sensing, cloud-based analytics, and real- time alerting to enhance child safety across home and outdoor environments. The system employs a hybrid event-detection pipeline combining sensor fusion, anomaly detection, and geofencing to provide accurate, context-aware monitoring while mitigating false positives. A secure MQTT/HTTPS communication layer enables continuous data streaming from wearable and environmental nodes, supporting instant notifications and live status dashboards. Robust authentication via JWT and role-based access control ensures privacy and multi- user management. Empirical evaluation shows a ~42% improvement in hazard detection accuracy and a 55% reduction in parental response time compared to conventional monitoring solutions. Key innovations include an edge-optimized AI module for on-device risk inference, and a cloud-orchestrated automation engine that coordinates emergency workflows.},
