I have a 16 year old son, and while I don't really track him, I do pull up his location every now and then. Mostly to make sure he's where he told us he was going to be. I was 16 once and lied my arse off to my parents on my whereabouts all the time.
Kids today are just as sneaky. Found out a group of his friends have a "trap" phone they pass around to each other when one's parents are being strict with them. So Kid A has his phone taken away, they slip the trap phone to him so he can still access his social media accounts.

Hey Spleen. But wasn't that lying to your parents and getting away with it some and not getting away with it some part of the fun of growing up?
I grew up in MS when you could get a driver's license at 14 and legal to drink at 18. The kids these days seem less prepared for life to me, just because they don't have to same ability to screw-up without major consequences.
If my parents could have tracked me, I wouldn't have gotten into nearly as much trouble. But I wouldn't have had nearly as much fun.
And just so I'm not completely off topic - COVID-19.
And you have to give props to the kids for being "creative" enough to get the burn phone.
