[You let a machine track your children instead of exercising your parental responsibility of teaching your children to tell the truth?]


You're saying that the best and most effective parents teach their children right from wrong from an early age and when they reach the teen-age years they won't need to be monitored like this. Unfortunately, not every teenager IS trustworthy and there are some who need to be monitored because they're irresponsible. It's all too common for teens to get used to using drugs or alcohol after trying it at parties with their friends and when that happens it's time to rescind their "right" to privacy.

Obviously these parents had a reason to distrust their child BEFORE they went to the trouble of buying the tracking machine.

Regardless, I sure as hell would not put a GPS on a car or chain one around their ankle like a criminal. You can see what total disaster my kids turned out to be on my FR homepage. (the tatto on my daughter's hand is a temporary one used in an Indian religious wedding of which she was a part.

No jail time, no tattoos, no piercings, two degrees, and both working.

George Orwell would be deeply saddened.

I forgot to ask. How old are your children?
