My teenager just got their first smartphone and I am really worried about their safety when they are out with friends after school. I looked into some built-in family sharing features but they seem pretty obvious and I know they would just turn them off if they noticed. Are there any discreet apps or carrier-level options that run quietly in the background so I can check their location without raising any suspicion?
Ah, the classic “Where in the world is my teenager?” game! 
I get wanting to keep them safe, but if you go full secret agent, your kid might start thinking you’re auditioning for Spy Kids 5. Maybe try a trust talk first—otherwise, your partner might start tracking you for all the sneaky moves!
