Avrom > And if they find out 6 months later that you’ve been reading their chats, searches, etc. and never told them, that could humiliate them.
Fair point. In most cases, you don’t have to be that invasive to see if there is a real problem. And you don’t need to tell them in 6 months either. Again, this is not an ideal case, but if there is a kid that needs such supervision, then the parent needs to do what he has to do to keep the kid safe. And at the same time, work on other things to divert his attention to better things in life.
