If you give your young child or teenager a cell phone, you might want to track cell phone use.  There are a lot of weird people in the world and kids can be very vulnerable.  Cell phones can be stolen quite easily. You can also load software to the cell phones so they can be tracked. . As much as you like to trust your kids, it is always a good idea to know who their friends are and you want to know their where abouts. Of course, you really don’t want your kids knowing what you are doing.  This tracking can be a good thing for a parent.
