Should parents be allowed to used GPS tracking devices on their teens? Is that an invasion of privacy?

They should not be allowed! That is such an invasion!
As a teen you have not privacy until you are 18, parents are responsible for your behavior as a minor, they are to protect you and make sure you are ok. While I may not agree that GPS tracking is the answer, you still have to remember you are a minor.
No that's a sick abuse of power and shows absolutely to trust.
Yes, it is an invasion of privacy, however dont worry. Teens are smarter then adults when it comes to technology, it wont be long before teens beat GPS, the same way they beat all other forms of monitoring.
no, no, no! if you raised your kid right, than you should totally be able to trust them... so what's the need? and besides, they need their privacy, and they need to know that you can totally trust them....
You are all retarded..except for the one who said 18...there are so many pedophiles these days, I want to know where my kids are, besides, privacy is whats wrong with our youth...they need space and privacy...right, it lets parents off the hook for responsibilities...if I want to GPS my two little kids, guess what, I WILL. I would rather know they are safe and respectful, rather than dead or in jail...
If what you're involved in is so suspicious that your parents feel thet HAVE to fork over the cash for such a device, yes, I think it's fine. Parents have a right to protect their kids, even if it's from themselves...
You don't have rights until you are 18. You have privilages. When you are 18 you can get your tatoos, punch holes in your body, hork out as many babies as you wish. But you don't own your body until your 18th birthday. Us parents have an open door policy. If you don't like the rules, the door is always open. G'bye
Absolutely, parents are responsible for the education and the safety of their children. But only after a teen has broken the parents' trust ie sneaking out, lying, cheating, stealing, and drinking. After anyone one of these the teenager sacrifices the trust their parents had in them and have to live with the consequences.
