A debate has been sparked after a mother revealed that she uses an Apple AirTag to keep track of her kids.
Vada Stevens from North Carolina said she uses the device to monitor her daughters’ location.
She posted a TikToK video showing her daughters responding to the gadget’s beeping noise. Stevens is expecting her third child.
Sharing a TikTok video, the mother said she placed AirTags on her kids’ bracelets to keep track of them.
She noted that she could easily find the devices on Amazon. She also said she could teach her kids how to use the gadget to respond to the beeping noise.
After Stevens pressed the button, the two kids ran away from the other room. The AirTag alert was prompted by the sound of the alarm.
In the TikTok video, one of the children said that the device beeped for them.
The video has since gone viral, with over 1.7 million views, and the debate about the parenting technique has been asked on the platform’s comments section.
Some people claimed that it was a safety measure and others said it was distressing.
Many people praised the AirTag for its safety and said it was a great way to keep track of kids.
Others said it was a genius idea and advised not going to an amusement park without it.
However, Stevens noted that some of the comments she received were negative.
She said she was traumatizing her kids and added that it was a great way to keep track of them.
However, some people said it was frightening and wondered if it was even cool.
In 2021, Apple introduced AirTags, which allow users to locate lost items such as keys and luggage.
The AirTag is a small, circular device that can be easily found using the Find My app on Apple devices.
Vada Stevens isn’t the only one who uses AirTags to track her kids.
Last month, a TikTok user named Lacey Johnson posted a video of her son, who was playing on a playground, running toward his mother after she had signaled the AirTag.
