Q: Why pop up message comes now if i use find my iphone to locate my family phone added with same id

I was using find my iphone app to locate my kids as all my iphones were registred against one ID. They never come to know that I am locating their location and know where they are. Now I come to know that when i tried to locate them pop message comes to their phones that someone has tried to search your location. This is really not good. even if phone lost and other person can find out that we are trying to search the location. How to close this pop up messages or what is the solution?

    Once again - check that out:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4006

     

    "With iCloud and iOS 5 or later you can locate, play a sound on, display a message on and remotely lock, or erase your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If these features do not work as expected, use the troubleshooting steps below. "

     

    Translation: if you didn't mess up by clicking "play sound" or "display message", then your kids just got you. They already disabled location services I bet.

     

    Another translation if first was too subtle, there is no message if you just locating.

They said that they got pop up mess or some sign that their location was searched. How this is posdible
