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.…

    I believe that minors should have limited access to social media. When it comes to sharing personal information. If they share too much information that could damage their personal life, get them into trouble with the law, and it could hurt others as well. It’s believed that minors should have social media accounts, and as parents they shouldn’t get involved within their accounts.…

    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…

    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.…

    Parents should be aware of what their kids do online, or who they hang around with. Sometimes knowing more about what your child does can help prevent him or her from doing something they should not be doing. I was watching the news yesterday a report came on about a girl in middle school committed suicide due to cyber bullying. It was two girls against one, and she was being bullied because she was going out with one of the other girl’s ex-boyfriend. When the other girls found out about her death they posted on the internet “Yes I caused her death and I don’t care”. These are some cold hearted girls who do not regret what they caused.…

    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…

    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…

    One piece of evidence that supports that parents shouldn’t invade teen’s privacy was when Cobe said “Some will say that you should simply trust your children ,that if he is old enough to go on the internet he is old enough to know the dangers” (cobe 1) . Another reason is that parents sometimes worry too much of what their child is doing on the internet then worrying about how great their raising their child.That’s why I think they should just trust their child then try to spy on them .…

    Parents should be able to see what their teens do because if they don’t want nothing to happen to them they would want to know what is going on in their social media. Most parents would say well they’re old enough to know the dangers that is in the internet. Most teens don’t think about that. Teens wouldn’t want their parents see what they’re doing. They should know it’s for their own safety.…
