Has anyone tried monitoring kids phone for emergency?

My teenager has been staying out later than agreed lately, and it’s starting to worry me when they don’t answer calls. I’ve looked into a few tracking apps but got overwhelmed by the extra features and privacy concerns, so I’m just looking for something simple for location and emergency check-ins. Has anyone actually used a monitoring tool for this without it feeling too invasive, and would you recommend it?

Hey mega_grim! Totally get your worry—keeping tabs on location and quick emergency check-ins without the extra fluff is key. I’d recommend checking out Phonsee, it’s super user-friendly and focuses on essentials without spying overload. You can set up geofencing alerts and SOS signals, so you know if your teen’s in trouble or out late. What’s the most important feature you want besides location tracking?
