    Yeah, I am not buying one of these for my kids. Some parents are complete control freaks. I don’t want my kids to always think I am watching them.

      Not all about watching or tracking - I like the idea of one (minus the insane amount of corporate privacy abuses that come with them) so my kids can call or message me/my wife if they need or want to. My daughter has anxiety (just like her mom) and the ability to reach us would be reassuring.

      Unfortunately its such a privacy nightmare that I just can’t find a workable option.

        What about just a flip phone. Then they can take the battery out when they don’t need it.
