Mom uses tracking app backed by Mark Zuckeberg’s sister to catch son having sex with teacher

A North Carolina mom used a popular but controversial tracking app to catch her son having sex with his high school teacher in her car, according to reports.

The unidentified parent had installed Life 360 on her son’s device — and grew suspicious after she was alerted to his absence from rugby practice.

Instead, the app curiously showed that he was idling near a local park.

The mother drove to the location in Mecklenburg and found him in flagrante delicto with 26-year-old South Mecklenburg High School teacher Gabriela Cartaya-Neufeld, according to WSOC.

After taking several pictures of the educator’s vehicle and license plate, the shocked mother called police to the scene and Cartaya-Neufeld was taken into custody.

The parent, police said, had heard rumors of her son’s illicit relationship previously and was already on high alert before the telltale missed practice.

Cartaya-Neufeld, a science teacher, trysted with the teen in her car, inside his mother’s home and at her own residence, prosecutors said.

Rumors of the illicit union had also been flying around the school for months prior to the arrest, prompting administrators to question both the teen and his teacher, the district attorney said at Cartaya-Neufeld’s arraignment.

The educator was hit with five counts of felony sexual activity with a student by a teacher.

She was initially taken to the Mecklenburg County jail late last month but has since made bail.

Life 360 — which counts Mark Zuckerberg’s sister Randi as a board member — has become increasingly popular with “helicopter” parents hoping to monitor their kids.

The technology can ping a parent if the device holder is inside a speeding car, or has left a pre-designated area.

Life 360 has roughly 50 million active monthly users and was expected to pull in earnings of $300 million this year.

But critics have questioned the app’s all-encompassing and sometimes oppressive presence — and data collection practices.

Human trafficking activists have suggested victims are being tracked using the app, while company representatives have cast those instances as outliers.

Teens and young adults whose parents use the app have also cried foul, with entire reddit threads dedicated to how to fool or disable it.
