[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, don't know if you are still there. And I didn't read all 7 pages so if this has been discussed, I apologize. [b]Who's paying for the service? If it's Pap, he can see all the numbers she's calls and texts and can track her physical whereabouts real time. Whoever is paying the bill can do that.  And if her phone is linked to his iCloud account, he can see any of her pictures, and actually read the texts.

That would be completely unacceptable to me. [/b][/quote]

This, this, this.

A bit more on tracking using iPhones: OP, go to the "Extras" icon and tap it. Then tap on "Find Friends." (The Find Friends icon is orange with two stick figures holding hands. To my knowledge it cannot be deleted since it's an Apple factory preset, so keep tapping all the icons if it isn't located under Extras. Look until you find it). If Pap is on the list of friends, that means he can track her (FF only works reciprocally, so he he has to appear on her list if he wants to follow her). If he's there, it's a HUGE red flag, and be sure to mention this to your DH as you continue to make your case.

I hope your DH is taking this as seriously as you are. If Pap is paying the bill, that means he basically controls the phone and can view everything on it through iCloud (if that's enabled).

I see no way that any of his actions are appropriate, even if they are limited to buying an extremely expensive gift for a kid and texting his daughter's boyfriend's daughter (NOT his grandchild). At best he overstepped; at worst, he sees a compliant young girl who is obedient to authority figures AND has divorced parents who don't get along and don't communicate well. This poor girl is about to undergo another major life upheaval (her father remarrying). I do not like this set of circumstances for your DD at all. I'm so glad she has you; you are on the case and will hopefully shut Paps down in a big hurry. And yes, give back the phone.[/quote]
