except the kids tend to be lazy...so instead of a peace of mind, the parent goes nuts that the kid didn't check in. my mom is facing this problem with my sister(she is 25). She is overseas, so they have a deal that she checks in at least once every two weeks. i.e. a basic email "mom I'm ok"...well she's been there for like 2 years, and I don't believe there's been a single month when she checked in on time.
