Tracking the kid's phone?
Discussion
I'm not a stalker (honestly).
I have 4 kids of various ages with various jobs, out of school activities, and social lives. As such one of mine and Mrs Countdown's main family roles is "Taxi driver". Unfortunately, quite often, the kids themselves won't know where they are going to be, or when they are going to be there.
For example DS1 plays basketball for his school team and the town team. DD2 plays netball after school and may or may not go to her At the moment me and / or Mrs C will get texts letting us know where they are and when they want picking up but it can be a PITA if we are running late.
Is there any way we can install "Find my IPhone" style trackers so that we can switch on the Ipad and see where they are at any time?

Life360 is good for instantaneous tracking - I use it so that I can tell when our son is on his way home from school because it's a 15-minute walk down to the place where I have to collect him, and it's handy to know when he leaves the school premises.
That's exactly the reason why I want it installing. There have been numerous occasions when I've been waiting outside his school after basketball, wondering where he is, why he isn't answering his phone, whether he's got a lift off his mates....kids can be pretty thoughtless at times 
Anyway I texted them all this morning to instal it and got the following responses;
12 year old "Done it daddy, love you lots. Have a good day"
15 year old "This is just like Stalinist Russia".
22 year old "Don't text me at 6.30 in the morning on my day off!! Anyway why do you want it? Why the interest all of a sudden in my whereabouts? I'm not doing it anyway"
Kids - can't live with them, can't sell them on Ebay
p.s. I know the 22yo isn't really a kid but Grandma worries about them all so it would give her a bit of peace of mind if she could just look at the Ipad and see where they all were.
