I don't think parents should spy on their kids at all. They should be able to know what their kids are doing but they also need to respect their privacy. If kids give their parents reason to spy on them then maybe they should know what is going on in their life.

I don't think at parents have the right to go thought their kids room or phone and other personal belongs like that. If their kid trust them the kid will not have a problem telling them what is going on in there life.

I think parents have all right to check up on their kids to make sure they aren't in trouble (If the kid living under roof), but I do think it should be a justified spy. I don't think you should just randomly enter a kids room, nor randomly check their phone. If you have seen them do something stupid or are very suspicious about it then its more justifyable.

I think that parents should respect their children's privacy. There is a difference between protecting them and being a bad parent. If there is an actual reason to check their phone, like if you have caught them talking to or doing shady things then sure but without a valid reason it is disrespectful.

I do not believe that spying on your children is okay after a certain age, unless they give you a reason to need to spy on them. If parents spy on their kids that will just make the kids want to hide things more and be untruthful.

It also makes the kids resent their parents.

I think that parents should trusts their kids unless the kid did something to betray that trust. I also think that it just depends on what the situation is between the kid and the parents.

I think that they have a pretty big extent because they are your parents but don't be to nosey to the point that they hate you. A good circumstance would their kid staying out later that usual.

I think parents have some right to check up on they're children, only if it means the kid is resorting to something dangerous. I do think as a child gets older the parents should trust them and respect their privacy. I say one situation that might allow this is kids talking to older people online.

I agree. I think that a healthy relationship is built on trust and if there is no trust between parent and child then there is more likely to be secrets

I don't think parents should spy on their children. Checking up on them is understandable but spying is completely different. Parents have the right to know what their kid is doing but they need to respect their privacy. This goes both ways. Kids can check up on their parents, but spying is a no. Kids need to respect their parents privacy as parents respect their kids' privacy.

I believe that they can spy on their kids if they give them a reason to, but I completely agree.

I think that you should always start out with trust for what your kids are telling you, then if they do something to deserve the more watching then you can start to implement more.

I think if there is a good relationship and good rules set the kid wont have a reason to hide a bunch of things. There should be mutual respect, and when that respect is broken is when its okay to become more strict or go through a childs things. Other wise a parent is just teaching kids they dont have a right to make boundaries and have privacy.

Parents should be able to have access to their children's personal info when they are young, and less and less as they get older.
