I believe parents have the right to know who there children spend there time with. They may look at who they call and talk to. To prevent one may lock there phone.

I feel that parents do but to a certain extent. The more they are strict the sneakier the kids will be

Dakota

But to what extent.

Troy

I agree the worst kids have very strict parents

They can spy all they want on me but they might regret it. There are many examples of this as my fellow classmates knows.

I know what you mean

Troy

1/8/2020 10:39:14 am

I think I know exactly what you are talking about

Kelton

Good point buddy

Brayden

What are they going to see if they spy on you.

Troy

Parents will only spy on you until they see something they don’t want to then they will stop because they are scared to see you again

Wylie

1/8/2020 10:37:09 am

That’s a true deal right there

Cole

1/8/2020 10:38:01 am

That’s what I’m saying

Cole

1/8/2020 10:36:38 am

They shouldn’t have any right to spy on kids. They might find out things they don’t want to know.

Wylie

1/8/2020 10:37:27 am

I agree

Jacob

I agree with that.

I feel like the more strict the parents the more sneaky the kids so like I don’t think parent should even spy on their kids. Like I get them keeping up with what’s going on in their kids lives but spying just ain’t it chief. I feel like trust between parents and kids would prevent “spying”a lot.

Loon

I agree with this

Jacob

1/8/2020 10:39:51 am

I fully agree with this.

Caleb C

1/8/2020 10:39:53 am

I wrote basically the same thing. And I agree spying means there are trust issues already

Kelton

1/8/2020 10:40:06 am

This is very true

Dakota

It depends on the kid. If he has lied to you time and time again. You might have a right to go see what he is up too. A way to prevent this is to be honest with your parents, and tell them where exactly you are going.

Sydnee

1/8/2020 10:37:36 am

Good point

Riley

1/8/2020 10:41:09 am

Innocent until, proven guilty.

Caleb C

1/8/2020 10:41:32 am

I definitely see where you are coming from a very good point. Kids can give reasons for parents to question their actions

Kelton

Parents have the right to know what their kids are doing but, the kids still need their own privacy. If a kid begins getting in trouble then a parent might start monitoring what they are doing. If the kid starts doing very well then the parent might give them more privacy.

Dylan

1/8/2020 10:38:06 am

Nice example

Taelyn

1/8/2020 10:38:21 am

I agree with this a lot.

Loon

1/8/2020 10:39:09 am

Great reply👍🏼

Sydnee

1/8/2020 10:39:38 am

That’s true

Cody

Parents shouldn’t have the write to spy on their kids. If the kids are trustworthy then why spy on them. Being honest would prevent parents spying on the kids

Taelyn

1/8/2020 10:38:42 am

Very true

Destiny

1/8/2020 10:41:38 am

I agree. Children should be honest with their parents.

Loon

1/8/2020 10:37:16 am

Parents have to right to know what there kids are doing especially if they’re doIn bad things.

Kaleb

1/8/2020 10:37:50 am

I definitely do believe that as kids get older they start to learn to think for themselves and start to judge the people around them more and more. I don’t think that parents should spy on their kids at all, try to be on the same paGe as them.

Paul

I think most are somewhat checking on there kids but others are super strict. What I have seen is the stricter the parent the more the kids hid stuff and lie about things.

Owen

1/8/2020 10:43:09 am

Yeah I’ve seen that to.

Brayden

1/8/2020 10:38:26 am

They have a right to like check on like a young kids. Ages 0- 8 , but spying on a kid old is unexeplable in my opinion

Jacob

1/8/2020 10:38:27 am

Parents will spy on kids all they want to but they generally should spy lesst older they get. There is a good chance they will not like something so they might avoid it. If a kid is acting wrong they might spy more.

Dylan

1/8/2020 10:39:14 am

I agree.

Dakota

1/8/2020 10:40:14 am

What do you consider wrong?

Caleb C

1/8/2020 10:38:31 am

I think parents have a right to know what their kids are doing but if you have to spy on your kids then clearly their are more issues already. We as kids have to learn for ourselves what the world is like We cant be shielded from the world forever and should be aloud to have some privacy in our lives.

kaleb

1/8/2020 10:40:31 am

I agreed

Cheyenne

I agree and you make an excellent point that we do have to figure things out on our own and to have parents constantly spying on us doesn't make that easy.

Riley

1/8/2020 10:39:33 am

I think it depends on how the child is acting. Under most circumstances I feel that children should be given less scrutiny than a lot of parents give them. If for some reason the child is acting different or badly that is the only circumstance this should happen.

Owen

1/8/2020 10:42:30 am

Very true my guy.

Destiny

1/8/2020 10:43:03 am

I agree 100%

Brooke

1/8/2020 10:43:37 am

I does really depend on the child.

Destiny

1/8/2020 10:40:00 am

I think that parents should let their children grow on their own but check up on them every once in a while. There is parental control to limit what the child can look up. Technology really can help and prevent this for parents to spy on their children.

Brooke

1/8/2020 10:44:23 am

I do think parents should be able to check up in their kids to make sure they are ok.

Owen

1/8/2020 10:40:52 am

To allow parents to spy you must have been caught doing something not good. But other than that I don’t like it.

Riley

1/8/2020 10:41:58 am

No, I don’t want that.

Brooke

1/8/2020 10:42:04 am

Unless your child gives you a reason to spy on them. I don’t think there are certain circumstances that allow or prevent there parents form spying on their kids. Parents should give their kids a chance and shouldn’t immediately spy on them.

Cheyenne

I agree parents should not spy on their kids but they should check up on them to make sure they are okay.

Tyrell Wortley

There are pros and cons to both sides. On one hand, a parent checking or spying on their kids can let them know how they’re doing or know if they need help with something. On the other hand, it could be a means of trying to obtain a reason to control their kids’ lives or show a lack of trust of said kids. It’s a grey area that I don’t know whether it is good or not.

Perhaps it all depends on the situation.

Charlie

I believe that parents have the right to check on their children if they they are suspicious. One circumstance that can cause this is a loss of trust in their child.

Cheyenne Ward

They have the right to check up on them anytime they would like to the extent that they are not invading privacy depending on the age. To prevent this some kids may put a password on their phone or a lock on their bedroom doors.
