I think my husband has put a tap on my cell phone and gps tracker on our car, how can I find out for sure?

He really place a recorder on the home phone 3-4 being ago. I know jealousy drives him crazy but it is not a picnic for me either. It is so terrible if I get a slow checker at the grocery store and it takes a small to long it is 100 questions when I get home,even when the kids are with me.

Oh my God…And you accept living like this? Sounds like prison would be a better option.

Answer by ~NiCkAy~
Sounds like he dont trust you.. you should find out what it is that he dont trust.

dont know if you can find out… check your car for a device for the GPS

Answer by Puddinhead
You need to run like hell, or stay with him in this “prison-style” relationship. Your choice.

To find out about a GPS device, take it to auto zone or to a local mechanic and have them check it out. As far as your cell phone, possibly if you ran by the store everywhere you bought it, they could check it out for you.

Answer by mafiosu
If he finds out from all his snooping that nothing is going on possibly he will ease up on his badgering you about your each small go. If you don’t have anything to hide then don’t worry about what he is doing to find that out.

i have to write a 6 page essay on parenting and im looking at it from the aspect of parents choosing to track their kids by GPS, or cell phones, and there are even coats that parents can bye with small tracking devices in them. Im just trying to find arguments on why this shouldn’t be allowed and i need to somehow tie in how it could affect society. If anyone has any thoughts that could help me. Its due tomorrow and im only at about 4 pages right now!

Why would it be unethical? The parents are responsible for their children’s welfare in anticipation of those kids turn 18. If it means their kids can’t sneak around everywhere their parents don’t want them to be, then possibly their kids won’t get into as much distress.

No, it’s not.

Answer by Dani
Not at all ,the parents own the phones the cars and everything else .. they have each right in world to track their own items and those by them.

Answer by Char
you should give the other side of the argument and then counter it?

I can’t help a lot with why it “shouldn’t be allowed” – teens are children and parents are responsible for them. Therefor, the parent gets to make the decisions, not the teen.

Why it might be a terrible thought:

I could see though that such a parent (except in the case of a mentally ill child that might be converted into lost) who feels the need to use GPS tracking to know exactly everywhere their child is 24/7 is doubtless making a child that won’t be able to function as an adult without mom and dad interfering in each aspect of their lives.

It’s a function of what’s been labeled “helicopter parent” and societally it leads to 25 year ancient “children” that still live at home and can’t go to a job interview without a parent negotiating for them. [read some about 'helicopter parents' via Google for more thoughts]

The end result is going to be that these “children” who were supposed to socio-economically progress starting in their ahead of schedule 20′s won’t be in a position to care for their aging parents at end-of-life because the “children” will still be reliant on the parents. In worse case, if the parents die ahead of schedule, the “child” is left with no resources for self-support because he/she never learned to be converted into a responsible adult (I recently saw that example happen).

We also see it extend into our social institutions. The teens that never learned how to manage their own life and make valid decisions get to college and the college is vital to either make programs to supervise the “child” or to let the student fail out.

The same children enter the workforce unable to make valid decisions or take responsibility for their actions. Since they never learned to be pronouncement leaders (instead responding only to authority of their parents and teachers) then they are not able to enhancement to supervision or management – the are restricted to jobs everywhere they are provided constant supervision and explicit instructions (such as quick food or cashier) and usually fault society for their condition without understanding it’s of their parent’s making.

just a few thoughts – excellent luck

Helicopter parents won’t like reading any of this.
