Well, Dan and I have been locating our high school aged children for two years this way and I say, "Heck yes", you should do it. We have an app called Family Map that can locate any phone in our group through gps and even through cell towers in the vicinity. Kids may see this as an invasion of their privacy but I see it as a preventative and safety measure for kids. For instance, when my seniors tell me they are going somewhere and they are driving or taking public transportation, I can check and see if they made it to the location without having to text or call them. I have peace of mind and know they are where they are supposed to be. This also "helps" our kids to be in the right place at the right time because they know that mom and dad can see where they are, this is the preventative administration of the locator. We were also able to locate one of our children's lost phones this way as well, which can save you lots of money.
It is about $14.00 per month and is well worth it. We have AT&T but you can download any number of location apps for your device and some just come with your plan, just ask your provider. Knowing where your kids are at all times is just good parenting, not an invasion of privacy. Remember, you pay for the phone, so you get to make the rules about it, right? Yes, yes you do.
