> a GPS tracker allows a parent to feel more secure about letting the child out of their sight thus decreasing the "helicoptering"

A GPS tracker is a long-range spying device; it feels oxymoronic to claim you're letting them out of your sight if they're wearing one. If you can't trust your kids to be out of your sight without tracking them, you don't trust them.

It's not always about trusting the kid. It's about trusting the rest of the world.

Why would you not trust the rest of the world? The world is safer today than it was 10 years ago.
Haha. I'm 10 years older than I was 10 years ago. Does that mean I'm the oldest I possibly could be?
