In fact, on another forum, I remember someone asking for a keylogger to spy on his kid, read her emails and stuff. He got told to **** right off."
Well, first off let's thank god you aren't my child. Secondly, I am IN CHARGE. It is MY HOUSE. I decide what's best for her until she can decide for herself... which is no time before she leaves for college. See how you're on this forum with a nick that suggests you're a woman, when actually you're a man? I want to know, when my daughter is on the computer, who she is talking to and about what. I have no delusions that she will be approached by men purporting to be young boys or girls in order to befriend her and gain her trust. When it comes to my child, I can't trust anyone I don't know. Simple as that.
I don't care who was told to screw off on this blog and for what reason. Do you know that a 13 year old girl killed herself because her neighbor's mother put up a fake profile on MySpace, pretending to be a cute teenage boy, who the 13-y.o. girl then had an online romance with... and the mother, acting as the boy, told her she was better off dead, that the world was a better place without her disgusting, ugly face? So she hanged herself. It's not her parents fault... but neither the child nor her parents knew who she was talking to, and about what.
If you're a parent, I say good luck to your kids. My job is to make sure my girls survives and thrives. Not to make sure I am the coolest mom on the block and for my daughter to think I'm her BFF.
