If you are the parent of a teenager, you probably spend countless hours a week worrying about your kid driving or getting into a car of one of their friends.

There is a company called Teen Spy that allows you to actually spy on your kids when they are out on the roads. No, this isn’t a network of security cameras spread out across your town. It is spying in the form of a bumper sticker.

You know when you pull up behind a truck at a stop light and the truck has a “How’s My Driving?” sticker with a phone number to report poor or dangerous driving to the company that employs him or her? Well, this works the same way. You pay a registration fee, a yearly fee, and you get a bumper sticker with reference number to slap onto your kid’s car.

Now total strangers on the road act as your security camera and your kid drives around town looking like a tool. Which brings us to this week’s Master Debater question:

Are these Teen Spy stickers good parenting or lazy parenting? Shouldn’t you put some trust in your kids before you hand them the car keys?

How do you weigh in?
