[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to school in LA and there are weekly police advisories of incidents. Par for the course for a major city and I usually don’t pay any attention to the small ones. When there’s an ongoing incident though, I [b]check on find my to see where my kid is relative to the incidents.[/b] If they went to college in the middle of cowtown USA, I’d probably never use the feature. Context matters. [/quote]

Why? What do you intend to do with this information?

Why are you the one getting campus alerts from 3,000 miles away?

If there’s an armed robbery at the In and Out Burger two blocks from your adult daughter’s residence…. you do what, exactly, when your location tracker tells you your daughter is two blocks away? Have a reassuring conversation? Tell her to shut her blinds and stay away from windows?

Trying to understand how tracking your adult relatives using TWO surveillance domains is in fact helpful

Have you had a child on a campus where there is a lockdown because of an active shooter?  I have, and ir f—king scary.  Not a rando store two miles off campus.  Shooter on campus.  Parents who shrug while students are being shot at UVA and criticize parents who try to make certain their kid isn’t dead have something wrong with them. [/quote]

Horseshit.

Here’s what you do - you text your loved one in the very very very rare chance that there is an active shooter on their campus during the 4 yrs they are at school.  They respond that they’re fine.

Which school is it where your kid experienced the active shooter firsthand, by the way? Bates?

For me, my teen was locked down when that loser shot up Burke.   We texted and he told me where he was.

You cannot do shit from afar if your kid is in lockdown. Tracking gets you nothing
