You need to put safety measures in place before you give them access to a pc or a laptop then you wont feel the need to snoop and they will appreciate the space you give them

When it comes to children, privacy breeds danger. Any parent who doesn't follow their child's internet activities is derelict in their duties as a parent.

The internet can be the most helpful tool or the most horrific cesspool. Best to moniter the kiddies... they can watch hardcore p o r n when they're adults.

Back in the 70's, every night before the news came on, one of our local tv stations had a little psa that said--"It's 11:00-do you know where your children are?" Same thing.

Toughie. On one hand if they've got a Meth problem you wanna know whatever the trespass necessary. On the other if its a no-no but less dangerous better to keep silent and catch them some other way so that you don't give up your source. But keepin an eye on a kid online is like watching them at the park. Very necessary. Just hope they don't start to place less value on civil liberties when they're older.

I had my computor in a main room and my daughter still found ways to hide her on line activity. She got involved with a bad guy, had I not snooped she could have been gone to another country. You need to have security in place and they need to know that you can and will be watching!! my answer is good parenting!!!

I think it is good parenting to snoop. But bad parenting to point out anything you have found unless it is serious. Think of the things you did at that age and what was common and realize that you can not prevent them form making some of the same mistakes. Trying to do so in a forceful manner will only push them more towards those things. If you discuss the things you did you regret and point out why it is not a good idea thats ok. Saying don't do it, especially when they know you did, makes you a hypocrite in their eyes. Don't lie to children, they will find out.

Good parenting for sure. All parents should do that, it would avoid many "bad things happenning to good people".

Good parenting these days! I snooped & found out a 43 yr old man was pretending to be 17 to my 14 year old daughter! If I had it to do over i wouldn't allow any internet in my house until the kids are 18! There's too many freaking creeps out there preying on kids & teens
