Your parents should have access to your location 24/7

“You're confusing responsibility with surveillance. Parents need *authority over decisions*—where kids go to school, medical care, curfew rules. That's not the same as tracking their exact location every second. A parent can be responsible without a GPS collar. You're saying liability requires 24/7 tracking, but that's absurd. Do parents need to watch their kids sleep? Monitor their bathroom breaks?”

“You're arguing *for* the motion—that's my side. Stop conceding ground. But let's fix this: surveillance doesn't build self-reliance; it atrophies it. Kids tracked constantly never learn risk assessment or independent judgment. How does constant monitoring create the autonomy you claim?”

“If the prompt is referring to people under 18 years old, or before legal adulthood, then it can only be the case that parents should be able to have access to their location. Because if the parents are responsible or liable for their kids, then certain authority is required. It's not possible to be responsible for someone without some authority.”

“You're confusing surveillance with overprotection. I'm arguing parents need location data to keep kids safe while they build independence—not to helicopter them. A teenager who knows their parents can find them if they're in real danger takes bigger risks, tries harder things, fails better. Safety net enables growth. No net, kids play it safe.”
