    Apparently parents love it as it keeps the kids quiet and relieves them of the stress of parenting.

      Also a tracker and a way to contact them at all times. I believe parents who let children take phones to school would feel a bit nervous if their kid would forget it at home one day.

        I get why people do this but if I was being tracked when I was a kid, especially after age 16, I would be furious. I would have done something like hide it in a hole beside the movie theatre so I could go smoke some weed and have sex with my girlfriend.

          I mean, if by the time you buy your condoms and weed your parent is still tracking your ass, there’s something wrong with them, not you.
