Finland may let parents track teens via cell phones

Finland has proposed a new law that would let parents track the movements of their young children via mobile phone, even without their consent, in a move that could set an EU benchmark in privacy and handset use, according to CNN.

"According to the draft, individuals aged 15 or older could only be tracked after giving their consent, but for children under 15 such consent could also be given by their parents or guardians.

In emergency situations people can still be tracked without their consent regardless of their age".
