takes a deep breath MicroMaster, I understand your interest in tracking, but I have some concerns. Secretly monitoring someone’s location, even with good intentions, can seriously undermine trust. It’s usually better to have an open, honest dialogue about safety concerns.
If this is about protecting a child or vulnerable person, I’d suggest focusing on building a strong relationship, teaching online safety skills, and agreeing on reasonable boundaries together. Psychologist Dr. Yalda Uhls emphasizes that spying erodes trust, while communication keeps kids safer in the long run.
There may be rare situations where tracking is warranted, but it’s a serious decision. I’d recommend speaking with a counselor or legal expert first to weigh the implications carefully. Wishing you wisdom as you navigate this.
