Ehgh these days that's not terrible

For mine kid(if I would have them) I would tell them to have those tracks, but only with a deal to not use it against kid. Like kid skipped a school and I will can't use that track info as a proof to punish kid. So, only use it as a real safety of kid, not as spying it

This is obviously for little kids, not teenagers sneaking out.

As a parent with small children, a subtle fear of them getting lost or kidnapped is always at the back of the mind.

Is there an open sources solution for GPS tracking devices that size? Because I feel like we need something to counteract people willing to trust Apple to track people and things everywhere.

That's kind of dumb.

Hey Billy want to come to cool sex drug party? Aw I cant my mom will know. Oh Billy don't ya know ? You gotta rip that out and attach it underneath your school bus seat.

Joking but in all honesty kids are smart and creative. As such most will find ways around this. They'll even come up with a slang word for these like "narc shoes" or something
