No Trust Necessary

This is one of the worst things I have seen in a long time. Disney has a cellphone company called Disney Mobile. Fine. Of course Disney would try to cash in on the multi-billion dollar mobile market. That's not what bothers me. It's one of their special features on their phones that has me instantly thinking of the Gestapo. The phones offer a family locator. You can select your child's phone through yours and then receive an address. After receiving this address, you can access an area map to get a better view of the location of your child's phone. What?! You can find your child no matter where they are? This infuriates me. Maybe this was just something my parents did, but they would ask us where we would be, we told them, and they trusted us. They never followed us, never questioned it, never put a honing device on us. I guess Disney doesn't encourage trust between parents and children.
