Which is where it fails. Legislating over the people requires the consent of them. Land Rover parents want to locate their kids with their iPhones on GPS. If the poor parents don't care where their kids are why should the rich ones be denied a security device?
Would love to see the stats on grooming (by total strangers) over WhatsApp alone as a percentage of all grooming.

Well, in theory the Government represents the will of the people.
I don't think it's possible to define whether being rich or poor defines whether one is a good patent or not. I've known terrible rich parents and excellent poor parents.
Both paedophile & hebophiles find social media attractive because they think that they can anonymously obtain sexual gratification by talking sexually to children and/or send & receive pornographic pictures. Some will groom them and attempt to meet them for sex.
If you do a search for videos of paedophile hunter videos you'll see how prolific on this sort of contact is on social media. These groups regularly post 'stings' day after day to highlight their activity and (I assume) to make people think twice about doing it.
Of course, things like cyber flashing can also be done to adults and, whilst this may upset or offend them, it's much more serious when attempts are made to sexualise children.
They find it difficult to form relationships as adults, can turn to alcohol or drugs, or even end their own lives.
