The question is if a teen would be willing to sacrifice privacy for a free phone and service. If the teen isn't paying for the phone or service then they are the product.

As long as your parents are legally responsible for you, then no, you don't.

Once you are 18 and able to financially support yourself, then you are independent.

Honestly, I don't think it really matters if your kids are OK with it or not. They are still kids and you are responsible for them.

If they are 18 and paying for their own service, then fine, that's another story.

But until then, I don't think it even matters. Seriously, I feel people without children just don't understand how parent's feel.

You know what's funny? Now that my parents are getting up there in age, I want to track their locations so I can be sure nothing is wrong.

I wonder if this would work for when I need to pick my kids up or some friend at the airport.

Basically tell them to wait inside while I share my location. Then have it alert them when I'm nearby so they can come out.

This would be really helpful for the airport situation, as I wouldn't even need to park.
