BoatCop had a very good thread about this exact subject a while back, only he talked about stupid things parents do as well. For example, every day I see people who have their kids' first and last names plastered on the back window of their cars as well as the school name, sport/team and player number. Now a complete stranger knows where your kid goes to school, what his name is, what sport he plays and even what number he is!!!
As far as the computer thing, they have several programs that will track keystrokes or passively listen for certain words. IMO, when you are responsible for a minor and said minor is living under your roof there is no such thing as "privacy" when it comes to you protecting them. The only rights they have are to food, shelter and clothing. That's not saying you should strip search them daily, but under reasonable suspicion I don't believe it's wrong to go through any of their belongings to find the truth. It might save your family or their life.

That was the Tattoo/piercings family right???
.
You're right on the money Hooli, give kids some space to learn and grow. The internet is something new to this generation, so we're learning as we go too. Just need to keep 'em safe from the kooks and keep an open line of communication.
Its not really the kid i'm concerned about it's the freakin nut cases ! that dont sound right but the sensible ones know what I mean !
I cant remember if the had tatty's/pirceings ..she made the trailer trash man quit smoking in the house

I agree 100 % For some reason ( and I'm gonna catch flak for this)this has stuck in my head. I was watching Roseanne with the wife one night. It was a typical child parent fight and the young girl stormed up stairs and slammed her door . When Dan went upstairs and said Dont slam the door and clean your room She said : its my door and my room and i dont want to clean it..His response was " no this is my room ..in my house and your just using it"
We have a right to invade their privacy in order to know that they are on the right track !

I never got why people do that other than to be proud of their kids(rightfully), but in todays society we have to watch everything we do that can expose our families.

They need that space to grow in maturity, we are just their sheppards who watch over them. I can deal with the resistance from her and 99% of the time she will realize I'm right.
