"surveillance-minded parents"... Are they trying to put a negative spin on it?
Knowing where your underage kid is is a must these days. Lots of crazy people out there.
uh, statistically there are less crazy mfs than there were 30 years ago. we just weren't hyper connected. so yes, I would hope they're putting a negative spin on it. Fuck sake, my sister wouldn't let her 16 year old boys walk to the end of the cul-de-sac for fear of them being kidnapped. This shit is so god-damned stupid.
wtf at 16 I was doing vacation alone with my then girlfriend in another country were we travelled to by train lol
