Many parents have debated with their children about getting a cell phone. Children want a cell phone, but parents aren't sure if the kids are mature enough to handle the responsibility.
News 2 spoke to a private investigator who said you can actually use a cell phone to track and locate your child. All three major cell phone companies offer this service. It works by using GPS technology and chinese phone towers within a few minutes you can get a good idea of where your child is at. "I think the technology piece is very critical because now you're able to pinpoint the exact location most of the four sim phone time," Kerry Graves, founder of Graves Investigations, said. If you have an iPhone, you can simply turn on the "Find my watch phone" setting and that works just as well. Private investigators also have access to other technology that can locate a phone even without those services turned on. Graves said adults are often easier to find than children because adults tend to leave more evidence behind -- like credit card payments. Social media is another tool investigators rely on to find missing people. Younger generations tend to post a lot of information about themselves, what they're doing and whom they're talking to. Oftentimes, investigators find a clue on Facebook or Twitter and that help them solve the case.
