Parents have the right to know whats going on in their kids life but they should not be able to spy on their phones or know they're every move because this stunts their growth and creates weirdos

I agree it does stunt their growth.

Parents shouldnt have the right to spy on their children. Rather they should set boundaries with them and trust them.

I really like how you said they should set boundaries.

Parents want to do things in order to keep their children safe and protected. And that includes spying on them. Parents spy on their kids when they think they're kids are doing bad things.

I agree, trying to keep children safe sometimes require the removal of some of their privacy.

Parents can do whatever they want "spying" on their kids but they should trust and respect there kids enough to let them have a certain amount of privacy.

Parents arent allowed to do whatever they want. Privacy is important in life.

I agree privacy is important.

William Rackham

I agree that there should be trust instead of spying.

I agree we all still need some privacy

I think that parents do have the right to "spy" on their children. You live in their house and you should follow their rules. They are there to protect you. Over time there should be trust between the child and parents and you will be able to do more. But you have to build that trust.

Trishelle

1/25/2022 12:16:44 pm

Yes I agree with you! Trust is an important thing.

Parents have the right to spy on their children if they are still living under their roof. Their are some circumstances where snooping/spying is unnecessary, and some parents go to far. But for the most part parents do have the right to know where their children are and what they are doing.

Eliza Fisher

1/25/2022 12:17:22 pm

That is a good point. I agree with you.

Ryan Morgan

1/25/2022 12:18:44 pm

agreed

wyatt platz

1/25/2022 12:23:26 pm

This is true.

Tyler Hilton

2/14/2022 01:47:49 pm

I totally agree

Raven

1/25/2022 12:16:29 pm

I think that its alright for them to know what goes on in there life but they shouldn't spy on them to figure everything out. They should give them privacy to let them grow.

Colter Bennett

1/25/2022 12:17:16 pm

Parents have the right to "spy" to keep their children safe. They should trust us children though. Have rules for us to follow.

1/25/2022 12:24:41 pm

I agree greatly

William Rackham

Parents have a lot of rights and ways to spy on their children. I do not think that parents should do this without a valid reason. Most kids that have parents that spy on them often become paranoid and sneaky.

Factual, sometimes trust is important to maintain the feeling of security in the home.

Tyler Martens

Parents shouldn't spy on their kids but the should check up on there kids. They have the right but the should give themselves boundaries.

wyatt platz

It creates trust issues with there kids and makes it hard to build real trust.

1/25/2022 12:23:50 pm

Trust should be felt between you and your parents and they shouldn't have to track you or stalk you. But if you've lost trust this is a good idea for parents and if your an adult and out of the house like college I don't see this being necessary.

There is an extent when it becomes a toxic parent, child relationship. There needs to be trust for children. You may mentor them but you can't hold their hand all their life. Kids have to figure things out on their own they have to live with their choices. My mom didn't care much about me outside of taking care of the kids and cleaning the house. I was still under strict ruling cause my mom's a control freak with munchausen.

There is a very thin line between the moral correctness of what a parent has to do to keep a child safe. Mostly spying on children should be limited to their safety and well being. Any more, invades too much of their privacy and makes people feel like they have been completely revoked of their privacy.

I believe that parents have the right to parent their kid however they feel. But it’s also important to mention that we learn most on our own and not what we are being told. We still need some freedoms otherwise as soon as we are let loose we will do everything we have been held back from during our adolescence.
