This proposal is simply an invasion of privacy.
Monitoring is lazy parenting.
Other parental controls are more practical and reasonable to administer.
Monitoring is a hindrance to forming relationships both outside and inside the family.
. It is one thing for a parent to be able to see the posted information, but enabling them to log into the account gives allows them full access to deleting or changing things. This is taking precautions too far
Giving parents the passwords to their children's accounts is taking parental involvement too far.
Many parents request that their children add them as friends on Facebook or other social media sites. This allows them to be able to view who their children are interacting with as well as the content they are posting while still giving their child a sense of privacy and independence. Being able to have access to social networking sites is a privilege parents give their children. The child is meant to handle it with responsibility and gain a sense of independence. The current level of parent involvement in social media is enough.
12-16% of a person's friends. This percentage is made up of mostly close friends of the individual.
Giving their parents the passwords to their social networking accounts takes away a teenager's sense of freedom. It also would make them feel as though their parents did not trust them. If a parent allows their child to use social media, chances are the child is old enough to handle themself responsibly without extreme levels of parental control and interference. They are not babies. While parents should be aware of their children's online activities, there is a line that should not be crossed. Increased levels of parental involvement in their child's social networking, such as knowing the passwords, is taking things too far.
Ground rules
Talk to them before
Having a healthy relationship
Need going behind hide things
Communication
Angry tell you things-should come naturally
U shouldn’t let them if

    According to Julia Mckinnell in the article “Control, Alt, Erase” she talks about how social networking has become a problem for teenagers, and how parents can serve as “a role model” by helping and making sure that their kids personal information is safe. Mckinnell gives important reasons why parents should be aware of the consequences that social networks can have on their children. Posting a message, a tweet, or a photo online can give away the location and time it was posted. This data can be used to identify, or to gather personal information. For example, Tech companies gather personal data onto teenager's social media accounts for profit (Mckinnell). Also, jobs might look to gather data about certain individuals to know who they hire. Therefore, it's important for parents to teach their children risks involving sharing personal information to the public.…

    In Harlen Cobens article he says that some parents should simply trust their child, and i totally agree because parents should trust their children to do the right thing. Another example from Cobens article is, “will your teenagers find other ways of communicating?” Hell yeah they will, when your child figures out he/she is being spied on you’ either find nothing, or nothing, because if your child is looking up anything in the first place, they won’t be anymore.…

    “During adolescence, kids’ brains, bodies, and social lives are changing rapidly. As they experiment with their identities and self-expression, they need space to figure it all out” Hawk says. Children should be allowed the right to privacy with a few guidelines. For example, if a parent and a child has a strong bond of trust and is true, then spyware would not be needed for the devices. However, if the child breaks that trust, the decision may need to be put into consideration.…

    Have you ever been on your phone or laptop and your parents come inside the room and start to look over your shoulder to see what your doing? In the article “ The Undercover Parent” they explain why some parents tend to do this with their children and why they might not trust their kids with the internet. In my opinion I think that parents should have trust in their kid and at least check on them once in awhile.…

    The Undercover Parent

    • 724 Words
    • 3 Pages

    There needs to be a level of trust that is developed between a child and their parents to receive honesty for a child in return. If a child does not feel like their parents trust them, they might feel the need to hide what they are doing, ruining the relationship between parents and their children. Many psychologists have found, however, that when parents know where their children are and what they are doing (and when the adolescent knows the parent knows, what psychologists call monitoring), adolescents are at a lower risk for a range of bad experiences, including drug, alcohol and tobacco use; sexual behavior and pregnancy; and delinquency and violence. The key, per psychologists, is to be inquisitive but not interfering, working to respect your child's privacy as you establish trust and closeness ("Communication- Helping Your Child Through Early Adolescence.", 2003). A child should be able to talk to their parents and feel open to tell them who they are conversing with over the internet or if they are being bullied. Most children are afraid to tell their parents because of what the consequence may be whether it is having to delete an account or getting their computer privileges taken away all…

    After reading the article “Don’t Post About Me on Social Media, Children Say” by KJ Dell’Antonia parents and children claim that posting pictures and videos of them without permission is wrong. I somewhat disagree with this article because I think that there are many ways that the account owner can make their account private and control who can view their photos. In the first place, when the parents click to confirm their accounts, they are letting the owners of that website to make them go public. As used in the article in paragraph 5 it says, “Sites like Facebook and Instagram are now baked into the world of today’s families. Many, if not most, new parents post images of their newborn online within an hour of birth, and some parents create social media…

    I agree with Coben about having parents spying on their teens’ because we as teens’ don't quite know about the dangerous in the internet. Parents just want their teens to be at any risk because in the article from “ Undercover Parent” says that meeting someone you don’t know or going into unknown websites can harm you because you can't be sure to trust it. Another reason for example, when it almost happened to me, I was almost in danger of certain things that could have happened to me for that reason is why my parents have all of my electronics on supervision. However, at the same time I disagree there are two reasons why I disagree. First ,we as teenagers that…

    David Jones, President of Safe Outlook Corporation says ¨You can identify a student, and you can jump into their activity logs and see exactly what they've typed, exactly where they've gone, exactly what they've done, and it gives you some history that you can go back to that childe and use some disciplinary action,¨ (Wallace). If more schools allow this rule, imagine just how many students would get into trouble because they might be cyber bullying another student or they could be looking at inappropriate content such as pornography and drugs. Jones also said ¨You can bring in the parent and say ´Hey, look, this is what you child´s doing. You need to talk to them about it.´ ¨ (Wallace). If parents get involved with what their child is doing online, cyberbullying and other actions that are inappropriate would be…

    They don't understand the concept that with that much information they have just made it a whole lot easier for someone to find them and kidnap them. Also if they openly post this without even a thought about it then how do you know that they are not going to post more about themselves like where they live and more pictures. Another thing to support this is,”The biggest problem we’re seeing in teens--even tweens-- is taking inappropriate pictures of themselves or even others.” (Source C Paragraph 7) This is another major problem which brings up why parents need to monitor their children with spyware because their children are doing this for the whole world to see. Even if it is just something where it disappears immediately and they think it is gone forever. That is not true because other people can easily just take a picture of that and then they have it to show all their friends. Another concern with this is that if they are posting these pictures of themselves what makes you for certain that they are not viewing these pictures of other people. There is the other side of this however that you should trust your child and let them make the right choices. To support this,”At first I was repelled at this invasion of privacy.” (Source A Paragraph 1) and “Some will say you should simply trust your child…” (Source A Paragraph 6). This is true that you should trust your child and let them make their own choices but…
