Our middle son has been underachieving in his first year of college, due in part we believe to over socializing. We came to the realization we were not getting the straight story from him on his class attendance and the use of his free time. With his knowledge, although not necessarily with his blessing, we installed the Marcus6. |

Wireless provider to offer service that allows parents to check on children's whereabouts.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Verizon Wireless, the No. 2 U.S. cellphone service provider, plans Monday to launch a wireless service that lets parents check their children's whereabouts and alerts them when they venture out of bounds.
Parents can use the service to set up geographic limits and receive text alerts if their children, who also carry phones, go too far from home. The service also lets parents check where their offspring are via a map on their cellphone or computer. |

While several articles on this site and elsewhere have thoroughly exposed the danger posed by teen drivers to themselves and others on the road, fewer have the steps teens and their parents can take to make driving safer. For example, some have proposed that the solution for this problem is to “take away the keys” from teen drivers by raising the minimum legal driving age to 21, and thereby take teenagers off the road. That solution is impractical at best. With American families juggling a full plate of responsibilities, many families rely on their teenagers’ abilities to drive themselves to their destinations. Teenagers need to learn to drive sometime, and such a solution would only defer the problem and inconvenience our families. |

When Peggy Stein of Towson, Md., went to Ocean City as part of senior week in 1980, her parents simply had to trust her to stay out of trouble. With advances in technology that allow parents to track their teenagers through their cellular phones or in-vehicle global positioning systems (GPS), parents such as Stein might not know what their teenagers are doing, but they know where they are. "I have a good child, but she does have a wild steak like her mother [when] I was a teenager," Stein says. "I know exactly what I did. You build trust. I trust my daughter, but there is peer pressure." |
