Over 50% of parents track adult kids

(CNN)– More parents are tracking the locations of their adult children.

Monday, June 15, the CS Mott Children’s Hospital released a new study surveying more than 1500 families.

Researchers found more than half of parents now digitally track their children who are ages 18 to 25.

Most say they do it for peace of mind or in case of emergencies.

But nearly 1 in 4 say it can sometimes make their worries worse.

Experts remind parents that one location point does not tell the full story.
