I think the parents have every right to snoop, especially since most parents pay for the internet and such .. and there's TONS of children who don't know right from wrong. There's tons of things out there that can harm children as well. As long as the child is living under their roof.

Really, I think more parents should snoop. They should also give their child their personal space to a certain extent. There's many children in my school especially that should be searched each day... it's amazing the drugs, ciggarettes and other illegal things they bring to school. I'm sure their parents would be shocked to see what they could find in their rooms... but then again, sadly enough, some parents don't even care.


Personally, I'd hate if my parent's went through my things. I have absolutely nothing to hide, and I'm a good child. They don't really "snoop" but I don't really like them going into my room, even if they do it to pick up dirty towels (sometimes they do.) I don't really have to worry about them going through my internet things, or stuff like that because for one they hardly know how to turn on the computer. Another, they *know* basically everything I do on the internet. I often find myself sharing the things I look at on the internet.


Some children you can't trust.. I think and HOPE my parents can trust me. I try to make it so they don't feel the need to snoop, which they don't at all, really.

I'm pretty sure they trust me, because they allow me to do what I want.


When/if I have children I will snoop if I feel the need to, as long as they live in my home, I think i'd have the right to as well.
I won't however, take it to the point where i'm looking over their shoulder 24/7. I will allow them their personal space, as long as I don't think that their personal space involves something harmful.
