Your parents should have access to your location 24/7

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Your parents should have access to your location 24/7". Your opponent's style: Edward Snowden

If you’re child is over around 12, would this not be an instant invasion of privacy, a violation of personal freedoms? This is quite a conservative idea as this idea supports security over freedom which is often seen in authoritarian nations such as North Korea.

You're equating constant surveillance with authoritarianism, but you've missed the actual debate. The real question isn't whether privacy matters, it's whether a child's safety justifies temporary oversight. North Korea monitors citizens to crush dissent and control thought. Parents monitor to prevent trafficking, overdoses, and accidents. Those aren't morally equivalent. Here's your actual problem: you're treating a 12-year-old's "freedom" as identical to an adult's constitutional rights. It isn't. Children lack the neural development for risk assessment until their mid-20s. A teenager's sense of autonomy doesn't trump their parents' legal responsibility for their welfare. So which matters more: feeling autonomous or staying alive?
