I'm, by all measures and statistics, not a dumbass, and yet still qualify as a child / dependant.

My parents gave up on trying to track / surveil me because I knew more about tech than they, and because it was more or less an open challenge to me to try and break whatever software they installed.

Do you want someone peering over your shoulder and breathing down your neck all the time?

No, because I'm now better equipped to guide my own life than my parents, and it would cause them unnecessary burden. I understand many parents are poorly equipped for this task to start, but that's a different problem.

There are a very few people I really trust and love in my life, and if they had a crystal ball into my soul and history and could read my every thought and action, I wouldn't mind. In fact, if we were smarter and could handle that scale of information I'd even like it. I'm as open with the people I love as possible. Surveillance becomes an issue when it is done by adversaries, such as various large corporations you and many people here might work for, your government at every level, etc.
