I have no problem with it at all. I do have a problem with parents that don't monitor what their kids are doing.

It's one thing to have an explicit agreement with your young kids that you are going to be monitoring their online/mobile activity in exchange for them getting such a device. But doing it secretly seems like it's teaching them some wrong lessons.

Not necessarily true. I see what you're saying. But there's also the other side of what a child does under the scrutiny of an adult vs. not. If you tell them you're going to be monitoring them, you've already poisoned the well. And when you *can't* monitor them, you then don't know what they'll do.

Interesting. Wonder if this is one of those "regional" things.
