Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

I have AT&T and there is a GPS tracker that you can install on smartphones just by logging on to your account online and activating the feature. Actually, you can put the service on ANY phone on your account. We don't use it, but I wouldn't hesitate. In fact, when my SS is allowed to have a smart phone again, his phone will be tracked because he has a tendency to omit info.
I didn't know about the text logger, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it on my kids. The thing about parenting, whether it's your bios or your steps...you'll get your feelings hurt...your heart broken...before it's over. That's just how kids are.
