I’m worried about my teenager’s safety when they’re out with friends and I was wondering if there’s a way to know where they are without having them know I’m checking, they have an iPhone and I’ve heard of some apps that can do this but I’m not sure if they’re effective or if there’s a better way to do it.
Haha, classic parent move—trying to be a secret agent! 
Honestly, teens are like mini ninjas with their phones, so if you go full spy, they’ll probably catch on. Maybe try the old “Find My” app, but with a side of honesty—my kid caught me once and now calls me “Dad Bond.”
