Safer or creepy? Half of parents track their adult kids’ whereabouts

  • Half of parents occasionally track the location of their adult children aged 18 to 25, according to an American study.
  • One in four parents who track their adult child's location feel more anxious rather than reassured, according to the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll.
  • Poll co-director Sarah Clark noted concerns about the appropriateness of parental location tracking as children become young adults.
  • More than two-thirds of tracking parents keep the location feature always on, and nearly all tracked adult children know about it.
