Vaquero Voice: Tracking location

“That’s kinda up to the kid themselves, you know. If the kid wants to feel safe by letting [the parents] know where they are, that’s up to them. But if the kid feels like maybe they don’t want as much, like, personal information from the parents, then that’s up to them. It’s just a personal decision.”

“That’s a tricky [one]. I recently had an encounter with my mom. It was a few days ago; she was just worried. I would say, no. …. It’s going [into] their privacy and second of all, it pretty much shows that they don’t trust them. The whole concept between parents and children is that you bond trust. … Like, I know that they’re not going to do anything wrong, so I should, like, rely on them and trust them so, yeah, so it’s a no. And also, it’s very weird.”

“Depende de la situación, si los niños son muy rebeldes que no pueden ser confiados, ahí si. Si tienen una historia qué han hecho mal, que han salido fuera de sus tiempos [y] que no escuchan a sus papás [si]. Pero si no hacen eso deberían de tener la libertad de escoger a donde ir porque pues ellos han estado bien entonces esa es mi opinión en eso”.

“I don’t think so. I think it more depends on the child itself. Like, there are those kids that they’ll do anything to get away from their parents, like, ‘cause there are some very over-protective parents out there. I know from experience, like my mom. I can’t even drive. I’m 18. I passed my driver’s test and I’m not even allowed to drive ‘cause she doesn’t trust me. She thinks I’ll drive to Mexico or something. I don’t know. But no, I don’t think parents should track their children’s location.”
