What are your thoughts.

Good way to have your daughter distrust/despise you till she's out of college. She'll also probably act out more to rebel and make reckless decisions and do stupid things because her father's about as mature as her friends he's texting

Your daughter should have some privacy. Her phone is private space. How old is she?

Dear kdog1982,
It is your daughter so you have to decide what is right. You asked for comments and I shall give mine. I th
ink we have to be careful to give our children some privacy or they forget how important it is. The man who shot the computer was responding to something that she had posted in a partially public forum. What if she had written the same thing in her diary, would it be right to read it and then punish her?
I don't know about you; but, all kids gripe about their parents. They used to do it in the school yard and now they do it via e-mail and on the phone. I worry that we are monitoring our kids too much and that as a consequence, they will not care when the government also monitors them. I guess the degree to which we should monitor our kids should be determined by the degree to which they are getting in trouble. My opinion and nothing else. Peace.

Since you ask.
You have done a creepy, cruel and disgusting thing. Your daughter will remember it for ever. You have probably earned her undying hatred.

[color=dodgerblue]It's only her 'private space' if she is paying her own phone bill.
As long as dad and mom are paying the bill, it's fair game.
And an effective consequence because the cell phone is extremely important to a teenager.

Wait for the payback,cause you have earned it.My daughter is going to be 13 next month and has no cell phone and no facebook account.I don't know about you guys but i'm old school parenting and the only way it has effected them is that they act their age.
