Tracker

[kevincraig]

Hi all,

Does anyone have a recommendation for hidden trackers on their kids phone?

I know it sounds intrusive but I like to know where he is for safety's sake as much as anything.

I do use find my friends (devices included) but his biological father switches this off which is not only annoying but slightly concerning (but he's a d..k anyway) my wife has "care and control" & "residency" until he's 18 years old so this does concern us.

I need something that they can't see and is hidden on his iPhone, grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks

This doesn't just sound intrusive, it is intrusive. How old is he? Breaching trust like this is a sure fire way to destroy relationships and put teenagers at more risk, not less!

If it's an iPhone, you can turn in find my phone, in settings. Kids phone needs to have your iCloud account to do this.

He's 11 years old and he is well aware of our stance on this.

I do trust him it's his friends and bio dad that I don't.

It is an iPhone and as I said I do have find my iPhone/friends but it gets switched off as I said in my post!

Honestly,

This is one of the reasons I don't ask stuff on here often!

People don't read the post they just scan it and jump to a reply and are often judgmental and rude!!

Thanks to those that do read and give thoughtful feedback but the others can do one.

I'm leaving now

If I thought an ex and their partner were trying to track me when I had my child I'd probably switch it off too.

Is there a genuine need to track an 11 year old when he's with his dad, is he not a safe person to have his child or is it just about you knowing what they are doing?
