Would I do this??? I sure would if, the case was, that I felt my child was in trouble..( sorry if I am repeating anything, as I have not read all the posts)
I feel that now a days, there is too much for the kids to get into ...I guess it all boils down to trust..How much do you trust your son/daugther....I do feel secure enough with my own children, that they would make practical decissions on their own, but for me, my son is not quiet driving age yet...That landmark is coming up very soon though...We have a pretty good comunication stand point between us, but if I was to feel that something was not right with him, i would certainly use this kind of device if I felt he was in danger....It is our job as parents to protect our kids and make sure they are safe....As far as using it on him to snoop or see what he was up to, I would never interupt his privacy just for shits and giggles...That is is business and not mine...Unless I really felt that he was in danger ie...suicide, drinking and driving, partying to the extend that there was hard drugs involed, or breaking the law...
Being a parent, can have its tribulations...its all what we make of it as the parent....if we teach trust, they earn it...if we teach respect, they earn it as well.....it is a common bond between child and parent, if we go about it the right way...Just my 2 cents in this matter....
