I remember the time I ran away from home. Took me 2 months to track down where my family moved to just after I split!

you need to install and activate GPS software on your kids’ phones.
they aren’t going to turn off their phones.
Problem solved.

Orrrrrrr ............... you could just cancel their debit cards and credit cards and their cell phone accounts.

You don’t need to install anything; just know their ID and password.
