AITA for keeping an emergency family iphone secretly hidden in the car my daughter drives so I can always track the location of the car?
Parents often struggle to keep up with their teenagers, and this parent is no exception. Armed with a secret weapon – a hidden phone in the car – this mom thought she had her daughter's every move covered.
When plans to study for an academic compet*tion turned into a night out, the hidden phone revealed a shocking truth. The daughter, eager for a taste of independence, was out with her friend Brett, supposedly hitting the books for an important event.

What started as a simple check-in quickly spiraled into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, leading to a jaw-dropping discovery downtown.
