In general, if you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under the age of 18, you can legally put a GPS tracker on your child. Moreover, legislation known as “Kevin and Avonte’s Law” passed in 2018 specifically created programs to provide location technology to children who may wander from caregivers due to developmental disabilities. This means that parents of disabled teens and adults can also legally put a tracker on their child (regardless of age) for their own safety. It’s important that parents and caregivers discuss listening in with their children, though, as an unexpected breach of privacy can decrease trust in parent-child dynamics.
