Parental location tracking via Technology
This is yet to happen largely because they are not technologically sarvy. My parents largely trust me and I don't see them having a need to desire tracking my location via technology or other means.
The only possible scenario I'm picturing is in the adventure that I get kidnapped. My Mom will be worried sick about my whereabouts and this will give her tension and create panics.
I will surely be unhappy and jittery with the situation and will do everything within my powers to free myself from the evil hands of my abductors and let my parents know that I am well and safe.
I remember when I missed my way as a little child while on a mountain. My parents were troubled and I greatly afraid too. My Dad nearly collapsed and I got a wiping in the end. I won't like a similar occurrence. God forbid it!

The application of technology in various fields is one that is taking a rapid growth in our world today, and Tracking is not an exemption.
No, my parents have never used technology to track my whereabouts. But if they were to have done so or have the knowledge of doing so, then, I will most likely live in fear and caution.
As a young adult, there are quite a few places or events I attend that my parents will not approve of. This does not even have to include clubs or those inappropriate parties. There are times at school when a business or missionary event comes up and the location is really far. Most times my parents do not approve of me going and I just pretend that I will adhere. Whereas, I eventually attend these events.
So, if my parents were to track my location and realize that I lied, there would probably be fire on the mountain. My dad is a disciplinarian and will never condone such. Hence, such act will attract punishment and also a distrust from them towards me.
I will feel bad and sad if my parents were to ever lose the trust and confidence they have for me.
