Parents track 24-year-old daughter's location behind her back using her phone, she finds out and removes their access, they retaliate in response: ‘They want to control me’

Many parents believe that parenthood grants them access to their kids' private lives, even without proper permission. They fully expect their kids to be okay with everything their parents might drop on them, and they often forget that those kids are real people too. Being a parent doesn't mean you need to know about everything that is going on in your kids' lives, especially as they get older and more independent. Boundaries should always be set, both for the kids' and the parents' sake.

For example, parents often want to know where their kids are at all times, and up until a certain age, that makes sense. You need to know where they are for their own safety. But at a certain age, 18 the latest, demanding to know where they are at all times becomes a violation of privacy. Even it they are still your kids, they need space to breathe, and they don't need their parents breathing down their necks as they do so.

That is what led the 24-year-old daughter in the story below to take actions against her parents.
