Those from London — 62 per cent — were most likely to track their kids, followed by Newcastle, Norwich and Brighton.
Parents in Manchester and Birmingham were least likely, says the survey by Spacetalk, which makes kids’ smartwatches with GPS trackers.
Others admitted to following their offspring in disguise, joining video game chats under fake names and checking online search histories.
A parent told: “The older one turned off the tracking app on his phone recently, and I was absolutely furious.
“I didn’t know where he was for two hours and I was going frantic with worry.
“He got a rollicking when he got home and knows not to do it again.
