Apologies if this has already been stated but it's a long thread!

You have to add their phone to your find my family - you can also change all of their phone settings on your own phone too. Downtime, app limits, whether they can add/delete, use wallet, etc...

So I have all that but he can still just hit "Stop sharing my location". Is there a way to actually prevent that?

All of this is wasted effort. Kids can get around any of this. If it’s electronic there is a workaround.

My teen will fight if I try to take phone away after asking for it multiple times. She can call police and say I hit her. What to do???

Call her bluff. It’s mot illegal to hit your kid. It is illegal, however, to file a false police report

This is what I do. If I’m paying for the phone, they will cooperate with Life 360.

How long do you suspend your teen's phone privileges and for what infractions?

Not PP but I start with 24 hours of the phone locked in our safe. Time will double if it happens again. Some kids might need a longer restriction but mine lives for his phone so 24 hours usually does the trick.

Do the people who think we should respect a 16-year-old's privacy also think that it's none of the parents' business where the child is at 10:30 pm on a Saturday night? My parents always asked where I was going and expected me to be at that place and then come directly home from there. They didn't have the ability to see whether I was being truthful, but my "privacy" rights didn't trump the fact that they only gave me permission to go to place X and not wander around.

wow this is a lot of judgment towards a parent who was just asking a simple question. Either answer it or don’t. No one has a right to tell someone else how to parent their child. every situation is different and you never know what the other person’s is, nor what they are going through.

Apparently the people commenting either don't have teen children or have kids who sit inside on a device. Some people have teens who are out riding bikes, skateboards and scooters ALL DAY! ITS LIFE FOR THEM! So yes, parents with active children and children who go out a lot need Life360. Perfect parents and perfect children....just wait! That or they have no friends and sit inside with Mommy and Daddy all day!
