No, it's not ridiculous at all. The mother can ALLOW the child to

use the
phone. If she does, then the child has an expectation of privacy

while
using it. If the mother can't live with those terms, then the

child
shouldn't be on the phone at all. Put another way . . . if you

don't trust
your child to use the phone without illegally spying on him/her,

then your
child shouldn't be using the phone, period. -Dave


When one of my children was clearly getting out of control, I handled

it
differently: I TOLD her that her behavior had cost her her privacy
rights, and that I would search her room or listen in on her phone

calls
at my discretion.


You don't necessarily have to give you kid advance notice. The problem
with the phone monitoring, in many states, is that the third party has
a legal expectation of privacy. If you could bug your kid's room and be
able to listen to just her side of the conversation, you would probably
have no legal worries.

The way I read the article originally posted, the issue privacy issue
was applied to the other party in the conversation, not the daughter.

Your daughter's expected level of privacy is controlled at your
discretion.

--------------------
And as soon as you reveal to her that you violated HERS, HER discretion
will forever exclude you from her life. Sort of like: You get just
one look, and never ever again. Fool me once, **** on you, you don't
GET twice!! People who **** with their kids have a death-wish.
