Wearing how? On his wrist?

Please clarify. And if it’s a necklace or bracelet/anklet, couldn’t you just take it off?

I’m all for cameras but a tracker in a stroller to walk two blocks over? Boy, bye.

That's so crazy. At the very least hide the tracker. Amateur

I would def call a lawyer and put a stop to this. Huge overstep.

PS if the ex's anxiety has to do with the child being lost or stolen, maybe you could offer to get your OWN childfind type device for your time. She can keep hers for her time.

It’s more about control. He hid these on me when we were married and filmed me when I was at home alone. I never even came close to cheating it was just a control thing.

Exactly!!! I’m so used to parents hiding all the trackers and cameras, I just thought he was completely unhinged chasing me down the road with a tracker!

Wow.

I agree, document everything. I'd take off the one he's wearing and leave it at home.

Contact your divorce attorney and inform them of the situation. Ask for advice on how and what to document. Track everything down to dates and times.

Change the locks on all your doors and install an outside camera. Let your ex know about this so he is on notice. Also install a hidden interior camera in case he decides to bug your place while you are out.

Remove trackers on the child’s person and store in their overnight bag/backpack. “Sorry, we take them off when we wash face and hands.” Check through child’s clothing and bag for hidden devices (check shoes, hems and pockets esp).

Your ex sounds at best anxious and at worst very controlling.

If you aren’t doing anything you shouldn’t what is the issue?

He's a toddler and years away from having a phone.

People should not be tracking their ex-spouses. Period.

They aren’t they are tracking their own child. It’s not illegal. But go ahead call a lawyer.

This child will have a phone at 5.

Why?

Really not cool. Aren't you concerned he could escalate into violence, potentially?

Probably so each parent can communicate directly to say goodnight and talk to the child without calling the ex spouse.

Take pictures, call your lawyer, and just leave the devices at home. Make sure you and your friends are not sharing pics of your child on social media.

Yes, but what can I do? He pulled a knife on me in the past and I was not believed in court. He's a smarmy liar and stops at nothing to get his way.

Just buy your own stuff and decline the bag.
