When a parent is anxious about the child enough to install a bloody tracking app. The parents is giving the data about the child to the criminals.
That sounds unlikely and more paranoid than the parents who would install those apps… How many criminals are going to data brokers to track their child targets?
I could understand that. But, with a bit more context from the article (that I should have included), it’s talking about the criminals that are targeting specific individual children to assault them.
