Harlen Coben Undercover Parent Analysis

Harlen Coben, the author of the article “Undercover parent”, makes a great point about using spyware on your childrens electronic devices, but, not great enough. 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. To further disagree, i once knew who looked up not dangerous but weird things, and when his mother started spying on
him, he said he deleted what he previously looked up and his mother never figured out. Another example is, parents should just trust their children not to get into trouble, my friends and i don’t need our parents to spy on us because we are smart and know what not to do. In conclusion, Spyware is a bad idea that will only result in a smaller amount of money in your wallet. Now back to the previous question, should parents use spyware on their children’s electronic devices? NO
