If you need to spy on your kids to keep tabs on them, you're a shitty parent. You should be able to discuss enabling Find My (assuming they have an iPhone) on their phone and why that's required (by you) openly.
Too many inept people have children. That's a large part of why society is in such decline.
Hey asshole, special needs kids are big and strong and smart enough to get themselves out in the world and need ways to get to them to keep them safe. There are plenty of reasonable reasons for tracking tech for your kid that aren’t helicopter parenting.
Hey asshole
What an unnecessary and disproportionately rude response to what they're saying.
special needs kids
Special needs is not something every person out there considers daily along with its ramifications for you to be attacking whoever forgets when it's not part of their lives when it only affects a small fraction of school-aged children. Even I forget, despite growing up with a non-verbal autistic kid, and even then he wasn't running around getting in trouble for me to even consider this scenario.
I swear these are apple guerrilla marketing articles. Air tags in the shoe is so stupidly expensive for the task.
Imo it’s not that it’s expensive, it’s that the kid is going to get an alert that there’s an AirTag following them, and they’re gonna be like “wtf”. Just share your find my location via phone.
Is there an open sources solution for GPS tracking devices that size? Because I feel like we need something to counteract people willing to trust Apple to track people and things everywhere.
Ehgh these days that's not terrible
This is obviously for little kids, not teenagers sneaking out.
As a parent with small children, a subtle fear of them getting lost or kidnapped is always at the back of the mind.
Hey Billy want to come to cool sex drug party? Aw I cant my mom will know. Oh Billy don't ya know ? You gotta rip that out and attach it underneath your school bus seat.
Joking but in all honesty kids are smart and creative. As such most will find ways around this. They'll even come up with a slang word for these like "narc shoes" or something
