I'll be the first to admit, this isnt real estate related. Buts its certainly a social issue, and if you are a parent, this pertains to you. Identity Theft Speaker Robert Siciliano www.IDTheftSecurity.com

Monday 2/2 the Tyra Banks show “Mom Police” Featuring Robert Siciliano features moms who go to extremes to spy on their kids! These snoopy moms admit to reading their girls’ diaries and going through their cell phones and personal things. Plus, one mom wants to know where her child is at all times — and secretly plants a tracking device on her!

Like all daytime talk, its a tad sensational, but an important topic albeit. What parent hasn’t snooped on their child at some point? I know my parents did, for good reason!!

Some moms simply search draws and closets, others interrogate and pat down. And with advances in snooping technology, many parents are installing computer monitoring software, tracking kids on GPS cell phones and others are monitoring their childs text messages either remotely or right on the phone bill.

Snooping is done to protect the child from themselves and from others.

My role is to demonstrate various snooping technologies. I walk a mom through a few tools to monitor her somewhat out of control 15 year old daughter.

There may be a lack of trust, paranoia, fear, or good reason to snoop on your kids. Sometimes parent who fear, use love as an excuse to snoop. Either way, there seems to be a breach of trust between parent and child when snooping occurs (or when the child finds out).

My children are young, so I have no need to snoop. Will I? Neither you or my child will ever know. ;)~ Unless of course my child snoops on me and I end up on Tyra.

If you are a parent and have time to Tivo or watch live, I think you find this to be entertaining and educational as well.

Good post. We were actually the software company featured oh so briefly that makes computer monitoring software. Statements like yours - “breach of trust” - are exactly what's wrong in this current world. Since when did parents have to earn the trust of their kids? And why is it now, in an age where anyone on the planet with an internet connection can talk to your kids, that we let our guard down as parents because we are afraid of losing our kids' trust? That is stupid... and it's weak parenting. Just because our kids know a lot about computers, doesn’t make them life smart. A 12 or 13 year old shouldn’t be allowed to roam the net freely without some sort of checks and balanced. This isn't spying on children. This is simply knowing what they are doing online (for a multitude of reasons, which I won’t go into here). If you aren’t monitoring their internet activity in some fashion in 2009 then not only are you leaving the door open for anything to happen, but you are forgetting who the boss is – or supposed to be anyway. It’s your house, your computer (NOT your child’s in a court of law) and your rules. If you are a parent, and you are not monitoring your kids activity because you are afraid of violating their trust - then you are weak... and your child is the parent in the house. It's not snooping - it's 21st century parenting. How else can you be sure your child is safe? I know this isn't real-estate related. i just wanted to chime in.
