I think it is an invasion of privacy even when it is your own parents to know your exact location at any given time. I think parents should be able to trust their child, as long as there is good communication between child and parent there should definitely be no reason for parents to "spy" on their children. I grew up in a household that as long as we informed our parents of where we were going and who we were with, they trusted us. There was never an instance where I had to lie to my parents because I knew they were okay with anything I was doing that was reasonable and responsible. Now if there have been times that have shown the parents they can't trust their child then I might understand parents monitoring their child, but I don't think it should have to go to that. I don't agree with a non-obtrusive and safe cybernetic implant. I understand it is to monitor the child's health, but i think it would be used in the wrong sense, mainly to track if any illegal substances were going into their child's system. Again I think that goes back to the whole trust and communication thing. I think parents need to have a good relationship with their children where they can trust them because of the good communication they have with one another. Other issues looming in the near future for would-be parents I think are internet safety, for example social networking sites.
