Summary
At 10 p.m. in December, Abbie Pruitt disabled precise location sharing on her family’s app while buying Christmas gifts for her children.
Ulta and GameStop stops could have tipped off her college-aged daughter and tween son, so she changed the app settings to avoid spoiling the surprise.
The episode reflects a broader household shift described in the report: children now routinely track their parents’ whereabouts and even use that visibility to make requests on the way home.
