Should parents be able to track their children?

[Neko-koku]

The funniest thing is that people still don't want to admit that families are absolute monarchies.

monarchy
noun UK ​ /ˈmɒn.ə.ki/ US ​ /ˈmɑː.nɚ.ki/
​
[ C ] a country that has a king or queen

A family is a country that has a king or queen...? What the actual fuck...?

What do you think the original version of the patriarchy actually is?

You could just admit that your "families are absolute monarchies" statement is complete bs.

It isn't. Maybe not in modern WASP ones but that's because you are lucky.

Then it’s rather irrelevant to compare them to something they’re not, don’t you think?

It is bs. It's as bs as saying that horse drawn carts are actually cars, as that's what you are doing by fallaciously appealing to the origins of a thing and making them totally equivalent.

[Mzeusia]

The more time a parent spends with a child, the less need for a tracker there is. It's also better for their development. Trackers of those older than children should not be allowed. That just destroys any trust.

It isn't irrelevant because historically and in many current societies families ARE absolute monarchies.

[The Krogan]

Yeah, my parents turned me into an anxious wreck without the need of a tracking system, I don't think children need the extra stress of their parents tracking them at all hours.

Yes, it is irrelevant. In the past? Perhaps. In yours? So you say. In most modern families? Nope.

If children grow up wearing such a monitor, there will be some that think "well, it didn't do me any harm", and would support it being mandatory. To ensure people's safety etc.

Furthermore: A tech-savvy paedo using a stolen or hacked password, would then know a child's route to/from school or whatever, without having to spy on them in person and risk being seen hanging around. Making them harder to catch when they do strike.

[Scomagia]

They should be able to, I guess, but they don't really need to. The great irony of the modern helicopter, fear based parenting is that it's safer now than ever to not be up your kids asses and let them be independent. Sadly, the world is full of really pathetic and weak parents who have completely irrational fears of harm befalling their children.

Somewhat arbitrary, but up to the age of around 16 I'm okay with it as looking after children is primarily the role if a parent. Older than that and it'd be a bit creepy.

This is my take on it. The idea isn't terrible, but there needs to be a cutoff point.

No, it's a shitty idea in general. You don't need to track your kids. They are safer than ever and, statistically, are in more danger around you than not given that parents are overwhelmingly responsible for abuse to children.

Because you aren't an authoritarian by global standards.

It's no more authoritarian than a parent telling their kid they can't go out tonight.

I don't think it should be mandatory, but I don't mind parents having the option.

Both are authoritarian. However the former can become a lot worse because it involves enforcement.

You find parents raising their kids and keeping track of them to be authoritarian?

I mean, okay. But that's probably one of the most benevolent forms of authoritarianism I've ever seen.

It's authoritarian because nobody agreed to be born into this cruel world and start from the bottom of a society (infant) under authority.

The concept that nothingness is capable of giving consent is fucking moronic.

Too bad.

It isn't. Hence true Libertarianism essentially forbades childbirth.

This should not be allowed. Children are people, not property or prisoners.

Of course it's a moronic concept; something that doesn't exist is incapable of anything, including consent.

Explain to me how nothingness is capable of giving consent. Try. Please. I'd love to see it.
