[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gotta love a board presumably filled with parents encouraging a college aged child to get a burner phone. Hope karma bites you all in the ass. (I know, I know you are perfect and reasonable parents and this would never happen with your kid.)[/quote]

She is an adult, not a child. Do your parents track you to know where you are at all times?[/quote]
My parents don’t but my husband and adult children do. Our whole family is on Life 360. My college kids get alerts when I arrive home and I usually start getting FaceTimes when that happens. They also call and tell us to locate them on Life 360 because they are lost and need directions. They track me more than I track them TBH. Why the heck would I care that people who love me know my location? [b]I’m not going anywhere I shouldn’t.  [/b]
And she’s not fully independent yet. If she doesn’t want to follow their rules, then she should do what she needs to do become completely independent. [/quote]

Neither is OP, but her parents don't seem to agree.  [/quote]

She's an adult at this point.  I think her parents want to treat her like a child still.  They want to control her behaviors from afar.  It's really messed up and ultimately isn't good for her development into adulthood.  [/quote]

Physically she is an adult but emotionally she seems to be a toddler. She is also seen as a commodity that can be used or sold by others. So sHe needs to be a party in her own safety. People find ways to be safe and travel the world all the time. Go and explore in large groups, carry air tags on your person, keep people informed about where you are, carry pepper spray…. Using a burner phone is not the way to go imho.
