Teenagers arent dumb, they will just leave their phone at where there are "supposed" to be.

I don’t have this Life 360 thing, but we have an Apple family setup - and yes, I can see my wife’s and all three kids location at any time.
If I am responsible for them, I am going to track them. Don’t like it? Move. Get off my insurance... Get off my cell plan.
No objections so far!

My wife follows it on ours boys phones, 13 and 15. Once they turn 18 (still in high school) she'll probably take it off. Give them a little freedom to frick around.
She busted the 15yo a couple times for lying to her a couple years back. He was just sneaking out at a friends place overnight. I told him he was dumb as shite because all he had to do was leave his phone behind...she would have never known. It was unfathomable to him to leave his phone behind...like he didnt even realise that was possible.

At some point you have to establish mutual trust or you will never get it later in life when you need them to help you.

I think it's the "norm" for the helicopter parents of 2020.
I don't plan on doing that nonsense.

Which is what a lot of parents will do.
But it can certainly provide some benefits in certain scenarios. Sure they aren't likely, but that's the same way with most insurances

Think about how far you can take that slippery slope as justification to invade people’s personal lives.

I guess my view on these types of apps and whatnot are that I will allow my kids freedom until they frick up a few times and I don't feel like I can trust them anymore.
Like if I catch them going or being places they are not supposed to be, then they no longer have the privilege of privacy.
If they are smart enough to not get caught, then kudos to them, I guess

Looked into it when my oldest started driving on his own. I found it to be WAY too invasive for my tastes. I simply wanted an ap to be able to track where he was going when he was driving and to make sure he wasn't speeding, etc. Ended up using the same ap i use to keep track of my wife when she's out running called Glympse. That was plenty to ensure he made it to wherever he needed to go safely and then it timed out.
Anything more than that and I think it's an indictment of you as a parent to have raised a child that you trust so little.

My kids are nowhere near being teenagers but I 100% agree on this. I would think my son would be able to handle himself so I wouldn’t have to worry as much about him.

This reminds me of something else that a friend of ours does. She has put multiple cameras in their house to "keep track" of her two kids when she and her husband are at work. She even had one in her oldest child's bedroom! I called her crazy when I found out about it. The oldest is a 16 y/o girl and the younger one is around 2nd or 3rd grade.
I couldn't believe it. I can't help but wonder if there is more to it than that. I've been uneasy about it since I found out.

Can you just turn off location services?
I don't think I'd put this on my kid's phone. I realize she's going to probably do dumb things as a teenager but hopefully nothing too terrible.

Do you know anyone that actually plans on being overprotective?
It just happens.

My ex-wife put that on my son's phone when he started driving. She asked if I wanted to have it too. Nope. That shite works both ways. If I can see where y'all are, y'all can see where I am. It was helpful when he was in high school. If I was curious where he was I could text her and she could tell me. Now that he's in college she feels compelled to let me know when he doesn't come back to his room until the next morning. I do not need to know when my son shacks up. I would rather be oblivious.

frick that. That is way too far. Once they move out, that shite should be deleted.

A 16 year old is two years from being an adult. If you are that worried about their location and what they are doing, then you didn't spend enough time if them as a child. Plus, that app is a huge drain on your battery.
