One of my coworkers had a bit of battle going on with his son where the son would figure out how to disable/circumvent the device tracking and he would have to figure out some way of doing it.

I'm not sure how it turned out, but at one point he installed an app on the phone that would let him text his son a certain message and it would silently respond with his location.



Perhaps he should have sat down with his son and asked what important things he was after that kept being blocked, show some understanding and then have some open discussion about the implications.

Or just double-down and play 'how far will he push it...'
