Should parents track their kids' location and know where they are all the time? We all know about how technology is advancing. There's multiple apps that parents can always see where their kids are and their driving history and their phone usage. Those apps include Life360, FamiSafe, Gokid, FindMy and multiple more. There are pros and cons to these apps.
The pros of these apps are the safety features that they have. Knowing where your kids are all the time and being able to make sure they're safe is so nice, especially in the world we are living in today. Some of these apps detect when you get into a crash and notify the people who have your location and the police. Another pro is that it holds accountability when kids know they are being tracked they do way less things that they shouldn't do. Lastly it gives parents peace not always worrying if your kid made it home.
However there are cons to having parents track your location. It can hurt the trust between the kid and parent, trust is always something that needs to be earned but not trusting your kid can really strain your location with your kid. Also these apps are not 100 percent accurate and can get kids in trouble for a glitch on the app. Growing up kids want to have their own independence and if parents are always tracking their kids then kids want to just do what they want because their parents already don't trust them.
I think there's pros and cons of tracking. But overall I think its parents not trusting their kids when they should and it will strain the kids relationship with their parents.However, it could also be good just for the safety aspect of these apps.
Do you think parents should track their kids?
Do you have a tracking app on your phone?
If so, What app?

I agree, if theres a good reason why then they should and if theres emergences then it would be good for the kids to.
but if your parents don't trust you then you should get their trust back and they might change there mind about it you have it or not
i think with the kids that they get in trouble so much or if parents are not in home always the reason i think this is because there is many stuff going around and bad behavior is one of the most comun one like that they been inrespectful or inresponsable in school,so yea i think should track kids with this kind of behavior
This is a great point and i argee with this because if your parents aren't home and they don't trust you then they are probally scared that you are out getting in trouble while there at work.
I agree its definitely a good saftey feauture for parents which can be a good thing.
I agree its definitely a parents prefrene on if they want there kids to have a tracking app. I also agree that parents shouldn't have to stalk their kids locations because thats not fair to the kid.
For real, parents need to not cross the lines and gives us personal boundries.
I think that parents should do it if the have a valid reason to. If you are having it to make sure that your kid is safe in general, I think that that is a valid reason. It shouldn't really be the kids choice in the first place. A child below 18 is in custody of their parents. This should be the parent's choice.
I agree a parents main thing when it comes to their kids is saftey. It should be parents choice and no arguing about it
I believe parents shouldn't have to unless they give a valid reason as to why. I can see why parents would want to but its not their life to track. Parents have to trust their kids weather they like it or not just because they did bad things when they were kids doesn't mean their kids will.
