Seems legit, kids can run away or be kidnapped. It’s important to know where your kids are.

- e-clinton 5y agoRight. All depends on age. Makes sense for an 8y/o, not for a 15y/o
- surfsvammel 5y agoThis is for a 3y/o and a 5y/o
- vagrantJin 5y ago> Seems legit, kids can run away or be kidnapped. It’s important to know where your kids are. Ah yes. This statement is more terrifying than Apples half-assed PR fireball a few days ago. The same folks who bought iphones because its has better "privacy" than Android... ...are using iphones to track their kids whereabouts. It's like a dystopian punchline masked in the Friends laugh track.
- canadianfella 5y agoWhat’s the problem?
- Tostino 5y agoTracking a kid at an amusement park, presumably a quite young one, is entirely fine IMO. I remember when I was 4 or so, I waited until my parents weren't looking to sneak off and go play with a toy in the gift shop my parents didn't let me see earlier in the day. I just about gave them a heart attack.
- _carbyau_ 5y agoYeah it is important to know where your kids are. I go with "pay attention". I guess there are going to be scenarios where tracking could help and maybe even allow the kids freedom to roam within a large zone - the back paddock of a farm say - while still allowing parents to find them. But I still like capability and trust more.
- alasdair_ 5y agoSome people have more children than adults. “Pay attention” is the default state but it’s not always possible to pay complete attention to both children and everything else, every moment of every day.
- after_care 5y agoI really think you’re holding parents to an unreasonably high standard. The punishment for a moments lapse in not paying attention shouldn’t be a missing 4 year old.
