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
I used to voluntarily share my location with my dad for "safety". He ended up texting me his McDonald's orders anytime I was within proximity of a McDonald's.
Nope.
That's spying, not safety
The latter is used to justify the former.
And the latter leads to the former. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
It corrupts only weak ones
Sure, you'll be one of the good ones. :/
True, but you can try to not use that power every time and ideally use it several times only
Did something similar, had something similar happen, turns out he put a location on Life360 that texted him everytime I pulled into McDonalds, and he would send the same text message each time. Ended up being pretty funny.
