Parents should only be allowed to spy if it is out of genuine protection. If you do not have a good relationship with your child then don't spy. Have someone trust worthy make sure they are safe.

I don think parents should spy on there kids. They should learn to ask them before they make assumptions and give the kid a chance to tell the truth. If the kid consistently lies to them, then they have a right to spy on them until they are an adult.

It is their children I mean they literally made them. There is no reason they should not be allowed to spy on them. If the kid leaves or is doing something they can keep an eye on them.
Tallon Aldous

Thats true.

There is no rule against it but if a parent spies on there kid then it can create trust issues in the kid if their own parents dont trust them.

I agree to your thinking and this statement.
Roahn A McCallum

If you think your kids are doing something really dangerous its okay to ask them about it or try to help. but you should let them figure it out and live their own life most them time and not spy on them
sienna

good move
Mason
1/27/2022 11:19:16 am
If a parent thinks their child is doing something dangerous wont that require them to spy more.
Jaylee

I think that parents should be check in or "spy" is when the children are older. As the children get older than parents should back off to allow them some freedom. Some circumstances a parent should check up is when the child is on a trip without them but, it shouldn't be overbearing. I do not think parents should spy on their children at all. A child will never learn life lessons with a parent always interfering.

Trinity

Yes I agree that once the children get older the parents should back off and give them space.
Keltonn

I feel like spying on their kids is generally wrong. Spying would probably be okay if the child is putting themselves at risk or putting others at risk.
jerry Carlton

yes yes
Dakota
1/25/2022 10:47:44 am
Hmm, debatable.
jerry Carlton

Its their kid so however they want to raise their kid they can. If the kid wants to resent them and be sneaky then that's the kids fault.
Keltonn

That's deep bro.

parents have every right to spy on their kids but they have to understand that the kids wont like that and they also have to live with that they dont have any trust with their kid. the kids will grow apart and move away that can prevent the parents form doing so

I wouldnt want my parents spying on me if they were curious then they could ask me about it and I will tell them they dont need to snoop.
Hunter

What if it is something so important that you have to lie.
brenden bowen
1/25/2022 10:42:17 am
I don't think children should be spied on, because if they are going to lie then it will backfire. They shouldnt spy until the kids give them a reason to by lying.
Trinity

Spying and checking up on children is two different things. I don't thing parents should spy on their kids. They should be able to trust them, and if they think something they should ask the child and see if they will tell the truth.
Jaylee

I definitely agree
Madeline

I think parents can check up on there kids or "spy" on them if it come to there safety or if they are protecting them.
Keely

They can check on them but not behind their backs. That creates distrust.
Kota Eagle

Parents are too strict on their kids nowadays. Parents get life360 and take away their kids freedom. Now their kids will go crazy with their freedom after they move away from home and make bad decisions because they've never had the opportunity to learn from bad decisions before.
Madeline

I agree there should be more balance.

as kids get older the parents should be able to spy on their kids to a certain extenct.
Dakota
1/25/2022 10:46:32 am
Parents should be able to at least check up on their kids, seeing what they are up to and can be confident that they are not doing anything illegal or misbehaving towards other people, like bullying. Some circumstances to enable this would be if their kid gets in trouble at school.
Keely

I agree parents should check but also understand the child’s boundaries and desires.
Keely

I don’t think parents have the “right” to spy on the kids. I think if a parent was concerned they should go to the child themselves and voice their concerns and discuss them with the child.
Madeline

A parent should never "spy" on their children. Spying implies stalking or an unknown eye trailing a person. Whereas checking up on a child implies that the child can reveal their life to their parent by their own knowledge and can tell a parent more about how they actually feel about something.

Communication is key.
Olivia

I agree with the assumption that spying is somewhat a bad way of communicating.

I feel as if parents should spy but they should protect. Sometimes that requires spying but its only for the greater good. Spying could effect the child's life in a good way or bad. So if the parent thinks about it and its effects I would agree on the side of it being okay.
Rory Wilson

I think it's okay if parents check up on their kids, I don't think it's okay for them to spy though, everyone needs their privacy. If a parent thinks their kid is doing something bad they can just ask them about it.
Olivia

What are the chances that the kid will tell the truth?
Olivia

I have mixed feelings about this topic. In the parent's point of view, I feel like spying on your kids is justified if their safety is threatened or you have a justified reason. At the same time, as a daughter, I feel like I deserve privacy and would not enjoy my parents going behind my back to look through my things. A mature discussion between both parent and child would be good. Leave a Reply. |
