Kids are always experimenting with some risky things, not all of them, but some; Mostly because of curiosity, but most of these things that children do, parents do not want to know. Do you really want to know every single thing your child does in life that you may not approve of? I think not. It could make you look differently upon your child, and think differently about their personality and change the relationship you have with them.

Don't you seriously think it's creepy putting a GPS tracker somehow on your child? I believe it's classified as stalking, even if it is your child. At least thats what I call it. I'm not saying you shouldn't know were your kids are and know what there doing. I'm just saying you shouldn't need every detail. It is there life more than yours. And after all, don't you want to be the cool parent?

GPS tracking can be installed many different ways: watches, cell phones, injected GPS tracking chips, cars and several other technologies. It's kind of creepy how anyone, anywhere can find you. It is illegal to GPS track people unless they are your child. You buy them monthly, or buy them in one. They cost anywhere from fifty dollars to thousands of dollars.

You can keep up with your child without having to set up a system that tracks there every move put on them. That just sounds a bit bizarre. You can ask them what they're going to do after school, then ask them where they're going to be, and what time it will be, and what they will be doing to help you keep track of your kids.

Mostly It's about trust. If you can't give your kid trust in the first place, he/she won't have any trust to lose, so they will rebel on you. Thats what children do when you put too much weight on their shoulders. They rebel. You should be able to trust your child, if you can't trust them, how can they trust you? Now when kids do something bad, thats a different story, mostly parents lose trust in them. They also need to learn how to re-gain trust back. But that's acceptable since they made a mistake and should be punished for it. One of the punishments is losing trust, because they know that it lets a lot of people down, and really does affect their impression.

I personally don't think that we should be tracking todays children with GPS. I mean, have we lost that much trust in them? I think we should let them make mistakes in life and learn from them, you cannot hold on to the leash forever.
