To let him go to the village park

[Cheesecakeandwine]

We have an almost 10 year old ds in year 5. For context we live in a no through village so the only reason to enter it is for a village based reason. He has a super tracking watch that shows me where he is at all times. Let’s us video call each other, set alarms plus has an SOS button. His same age friends have all started going to the park in the centre of the village together. AIBU to let him go with them (never alone)? My husband is very against it.

For me the problem is as they get older they don't want to be tracked. If they think you are tracking them they are more likely to leave phone etc behind when they go somewhere they are not allowed. That's the time they most need their phone

Yeah, teens not taking their phones out with them. That's likely! Have you ever met a teenager? They can barely go to the toilet without their phones.

I am on my next set of teenagers. I know of teenagers with second phones because their parents track every website, every step they take.
