I do not know the ages of your children but i fear for them if/when they're teenagers. A small child does not care, a teenager _very much does and should_. Will you still track them when they're 25? Or 30? What if they ask you to stop, what will you do? I gained very very significant experiences by lying to my parents about where i was. I never got hurt, not once, we were never running from the cops or anything and i solved every problem on my own. Those are invaluable experiences! A 6 year old simply cannot, but a teenager must. What is your true motivation in tracking them? Is it based in fear? And I'm sure you're aware that any apps they have installed on their phone can also be capable of storing and selling this location data you'd like them to provide. Are you comfortable with Google storing a record of every movement your child makes?

Will you still track them when they're 25? Or 30? You think someone keeping track of their small child means they will somehow track their location when the child is 30 years old?

  Oh, absolutely. Basically all parents treat their children as just that, children, regardless of their age.

    To be perfectly clear here, you think that a parent that buys this smart watch and tracks their kid's location will "oh absolutely" track their child's location into their 30s when they are old enough to have their own career and family? Can you explain why this completely abnormal behavior is an accurate prediction?

      > Can you explain why this completely abnormal behavior is an accurate prediction? “Abnormal” is ambigous. It can either mean “unhealthy” or “uncommon”. I mean that this behavior, while unhealthy, is not uncommon. Most parents absolutely do not trust their kids to be adults, since in the eyes of the parents, the kids still are just that; kids. It takes an uncommonly strong sense of self-discipline and insight on the side of the parents to force themselves to break out of that thinking.

        Most parents absolutely do not trust their kids to be adults, Now you're either saying that 'most' parents track the live location of their children into their 30s or you're saying something vague and irrelevant. What are you saying exactly? This was about location tracking. It seems like you're either talking about your own irrelevant frustrations or you're saying things that you have no evidence of.

        > What are you saying exactly? This was about location tracking. The question, as posed by you, was whether a parent who was keeping track of their child while the child was very young, would still do so when the child comes of age and into adulthood. I proposed that the likelihood was very high indeed, since most parents have trouble reevaluating their perception of their child, even though that perception was formed and solidified while the child was very young. It follows, that parents would not see a good enough reason for deliberately altering their habitual tracking as the child turns into an adult.

        keeping track of their child while the child was very young You keep avoiding saying location tracking. Are you seriously talking about location tracking an adult in their 30s? Say it directly. Are you saying this happens with knowledge or without? With consent or without? Are you saying parents are putting live location trackers on their 30 year old children's owned phones? Why do you keep ignoring the actual point and saying abstract irrelevant things like 'parents want to keep track of their children' ? Address the actual point and show some evidence.
