US parents snoop on kids with gadgets

Parents in the United States may not have the resources of the National Security Agency, but it is not that hard for them to snoop on their smartphone-addicted kids.

Gadgets are being marketed to harried parents who want to keep tabs on their children, whether they are speeding in mom's car or texting after hours when they should be asleep.

There are fobs, watches and bracelets with location-sensing capabilities. Smart anklets track the ever-changing moods of babies. There is even a SleepIQ Kids Bed that can tip parents off when youngsters are up after hours.
