A teenage girl went on a ski trip with friends and without her parents. But was she really on her own? Her father subscribed to the mobile phone-based security monitoring service Trygghetsmobilen, and sat at home in front of the computer, keeping an eye on where she was. He didn’t see anything wrong with this kind of monitoring, and his daughter said she thought it was ok, although she was a little skeptical about the fact that her father could trace her at all times. The Ombudsman for Children in Norway, Reidar  Hjermann, was extremely skeptical. In his opinion: “A system where parents can check where their children are at any time is an obvious violation of the child’s private life.”
