Did you even read my comment.. or did you see Apple product under attack and went for me.
> a phone is not by default a device to track a kid an air tag is
I would be surprised if lots of parents were not using the Find My functionality to track kids with phones before AirTags came out. I also recall mobile networks selling it as an additional service to parents before Apple and Google rolled out their solutions.
Nowadays, even younger kids get Apple Watches for tracking purposes.
My parents didn’t have cellphones and they were fine, now with the US being MUCH safer than the 1980s/90s, those generations are now turning around and insisting on tracking the hell out of everything kids do. Insanity.
