I have an adult friend who tried to break up with an overly controlling boyfriend. He kept showing up mysteriously everywhere she went, frightening her. I examined her phone and discovered she had gps enabled, and the telecom provider had a web based tracking service the boyfriend had enabled without her knowledge. He was a "tech guy" and she was not, so she had just given him the phone "to set it up" when she first got it.
