Hey asshole

What an unnecessary and disproportionately rude response to what they're saying.

special needs kids

Special needs is not something every person out there considers daily along with its ramifications for you to be attacking whoever forgets when it's not part of their lives when it only affects a small fraction of school-aged children. Even I forget, despite growing up with a non-verbal autistic kid, and even then he wasn't running around getting in trouble for me to even consider this scenario.

You don't need to be a helicopter parent to explain to your kids that you want to be able to find them if needed. And you don't need to monitor them just because that feature is enabled. A reasonable parent can require the feature be enabled and only use it when there's cause.

I maintain that if you need to hide your tracker from your child, you suck as a parent. And if your kid has special needs that make this untenable, that's obviously different from what I originally said broadly about most parents.
