I completely agree that the installation of the application would need to be direct onto their phone so that I couldn't pick phone numbers at random and spy on them, but I would like to be able to keep track of my kids.

Well, Verizon has that for many of their non-smartphones here in the US, no data plan required. It's a pay-for service, though.
