The article starts with Coben showing how at first he was “repelled” by the idea. Coben reflects about how even the name “spyware” would repel parents. Coben’s thoughts change on this issue as the essay continues. Coben makes the point that most parents will not be spying on what their children are doing, but instead overseeing their activities to make sure they are not getting into trouble. Coben addresses the fact that it would be a hard choice to decide to do, your child may be upset with you for “spying” but in the end when they are older they will understand you were just trying to protect them.…
