Yup, I like this quote from the story.
One moral of the tale: parents, think hard before taking technical measures against your own kids. There's a better than average chance that they—or their friends—know more than you do.

Rubbish, If you have bought your children up with repect and to know the dangers of the internet, then there is no reason why they will not remember the warnings and be careful.My daughter who is of a similar age is very well up on the internet and the dangers that surround it, I trust her to be able to use her own judgement, she knows what is sensible and what is not!.
I also trust her enough to know that if there is anything that she is concerned about that she will come to me with it. That is called having faith in your child!.
I really feel sorry for you with the approach you take, you must not have a loving trusting relationship with your children. Put some faith in them, they will reward you.

i would dare to say that you are being negligent if you do not use spyware on your childrens computer...
i am not saying you have to dissect every little thing they do, but you really do need to know what your kids are doing online.
you are still a parent, rather it be real world, or cyber world, the two intersect all the time. bad things come from kids being on the internet for social reasons.
the internet is a powerful tool for EVERYBODY, including people that would get enjoyment from harming children..
i see a problem with the police using spyware...
i see no problem with a parent using it...
keyloggers are GREAT...

i am sorry, but if my minor had acquired his OWN computer himself, I would even be more worried...
you know, the child labor laws kinda make it illegal for him to go out and make that money,
so if he acquired a computer on his own, i would be making a priority to pry into his stuff, as something obviously isn't right...
jail for parenting your kids????
seriously???
ats???
deny ignorance???
are these days gone????
i am really concerned as to why a parent should be place in jail for keeping a close eye on their children...
ohhhhhhhhhhh
i bet you don't have any kids... thats it...
