Would you put spy software in ur teenage children mobile?

I wouldn't. Only if i knew my kid was stealing, taking and dealing drugs would i then put spy software in my teens phone. A teen should be allowed to trust their parents and a spy device should only be put into a phone when it is only for the teens self safety. So no I would not put a spy device in my teens phone if it was just to find out what guys she's chatting to.

i think parents who have taught their children well, those children who knows the values they should have picked up with their parents should not be monitored, and should not be spied on. if you are a responsible parent, spying on your kids won't do you help and could only make matters worse, why wait for them to commit the mistake and scold them? just try to guide them, lead them to the right path to make sure that they are doing the correct things all the time, this way, they need not be spied on the phone and on the internet activities.

My kids know that they have to be where I expect them to be, that I can go through their things if I feel like it. I rarely do so, but there are times when I will pop in to check on them where they are supposed to be or I will go through their book bags, generally looking for homework. The element of surprise that I provide doesn't allow them to get away with much and has helped them be a lot more open with me. Would I give them a phone with spy software in it, no. I won't give my kids cell phones until they are driving and at that time, I think it would largely depend on how they have helped me be able to trust them. If they are always where they are supposed to be, if they continue coming to me when they should, even if it involves a friend, then I won't need to worry. If they become deceitful and begin hiding things from me, then, I probably would.

no i dont think so .....i trust my kids and they are following my rules at home..:)

It is a good idea for those parents who have reasons not to trust their kids due to regular bad behaviour, lying or trouble. My daughter is almost eight and not quite a teenager yet but, and I hope I’m not kidding myself when I say this, I like to think that she is been brought up to be trustworthy and very unlikely to lie about her whereabouts or her activities so to answer your question I would not feel good using such software with my daughter and would not infringe on her privacy unless I had very good reasons to; I trust her at this stage...Talk to me in five years! (LOL)

hi, there is nothing in the world like this to steal the privacy of children. It could really hurt their feeling and freedom that they are being watched by someone. So they could act like who they are actually. We have to instill in them the good behaviors and moralities so that they will not commit any bad things in their life. Ruling them like monorchies will lead to something different what we wanted them to become. If you use that software in a way that it helps with safety of the children then it is okay.

hi hero,
well to be frank asu know i am not even married leave aside my own children but yes if i got a girl who is teen ager i would like to know what she is up to because in 20 years or so India would be totally changed and i wont like to do my girl what most girl would be doing at that time. You were right in ur remakes above columns about them getting pregnant. all guys are not like you that girls parents would be confident sending their girls out with and who knows she might fall in bad company and do drugs or anything. it is always better to be safe than sorry.

there is some phones that come with that very software like you describe for free, and can be tracked by an internet web page.

Hello agrim well i think i wouldnt put one, because that wont make them stop doing things but infact make them more anxious about what it really has and that is why we are stopping them from using certain things, infact i wont give my children a mobile phone until they are capable of handling one.Somethings are to be given to them at the right time, i am not the person who will react as the world does because i want them to get the good and not the worng.

Omg! I am so glad my parents are not aware of it. In future I would definitely respect my child's privacy. I have got very little of it and I so crave for it now. So I would understand and never do such a thing. If they are on the wrong path there maybe other better ways to do it. And I would try my best to be there best friend so that they confide everything about their friends/ boyfriends etc. But if I would be very affluent by that time I would talk to my child about the probability of him/her getting kidnapped and with their approval I would install it i neither phone. If they would be close to me to share everything they wouldn't mind it, and in case they do mind it I would give them two cell phones:P One with the software installed which would just help tracking them if they go missing and the other for their own personal use. This way I would give them their privacy as well as ensure their safety.
