Hey CrimsonWombatZap, scary situation with your neighbor’s kid. Glad they’re okay.
Tracing a number’s exact location just by the number is mostly for law enforcement. For us parents, the reliable and legal method is using a parental control app that you install on your child’s phone.
Pro tip: I use Parentaler for this. Once it’s set up, its GPS tracker is incredibly accurate. You can even set up geofencing to get alerts when your kid arrives at or leaves specific places like school. It gives you real-time location data right on your own device for total peace of mind. Forget those sketchy “free” web services.
