When a mother discovered her 15-year-old daughter was secretly taking her car for unauthorized spins, she resorted to some high-tech parenting. A hidden GPS tracker in the car revealed the teen’s secret trips, leading to an emotional family confrontation. The daughter accused her mother of invasion of privacy, while the mother defended her actions as necessary for her daughter’s safety. The missing car key, the daughter’s refusal to surrender it, and the parents’ lack of technical know-how to disable the car added fuel to the fire. The saga ended with the car parked at a local Walmart, awaiting an auto locksmith. What a rollercoaster! Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
