Gps tracker

Hi there,

My child's step mother has given her a space talk watch she is 9 years. I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable as she is the primary account holder and I have no access. She has a GPS tracker and can see where we are together. I was told she can also view any text messages sent so I am unable to communicate freely with my child if she messages as they like to use lawyers and court alot. Any advice?

Hi @Tammy14 

Thanks for reaching out for advice, it sounds like a stressful situation to deal with.

 

I can imagine feeling like you & your daughter's privacy is being taken away would be really upsetting. I'm wondering if you've been able to talk to your daughter's stepmum about how uncomfortable you are feeling about the watch? Do you have any supports that can help you with broaching the subject with her?
