Question

Ineed to find out the type of conversations ,and to whom my kids are talking
.

Answer 1

The easiest way is to buy a key logger, its a device that attaches between the keyboard and PC, better if its in the back where its hidden.

That's my advice. If you're serious I can point you to a website that sells such products.

Answer 2

There are many things that can be done depending on the way your computers are setup in your home. First thing you should set up an account on your computers without administrator privileges for them. That lets you have complete control of there user account on the computers in your home. When you set there account install monitoring software. I don't know if that's against the law are not but the hell with it. It's your child, house and computer. You set them up with a Email account that you know the password to and they are a secondary off your account. Like MSN, Yahoo or what ever. They don't need to be primary account holder on anything like that. You set it up and create secondary accounts for them. The monitoring software will keep you informed of any others they creat without your knowledge and you will have the information needed to cancel those accounts. Don't trust Norton or any of those types of programs. They are easily defeated. The hell with all those that say its not right to watch your kids on the Internet. That's like saying its OK to play in the street but you might get run over.

Answer 3

Rrrobyn ------- No this is not a violation of privacy. It's good parenting. Children under a certain age are not guarenteed the priviages given under the Bill of Rights, or the U.S. Constitution. If you believe that they are..... then show me.

The only rights given to children are commonly under A state's Domestic Relations Law, and a majority of those pertain to a child's welfare status and out of home placement.

Answer 4

You might want to consider the long-term faith issues of sneaking and stalking your kids. Why not simply tell your kids that you are concerned about this and would like to monitor their emails. Require they give you their passwords. This way at least there is no faith issue, just tempter tantrums. And they have been warned fairly. Sneaking behind their backs is cruel and disrespectful.

Answer 5

Ask them. If they find out you snoop around for dirt on them they'll just do worse things to hide from you. Don't you remember being a kid? The Internet is dangerous but, give your kids a chance to be honest first. If you don't like what they have to say then snoop away.

Answer 6

I think even as a parent we shouldnt divulge in ones privacy. You may end up losing your kid trust and this may remain a scar in ones life. Learn to trust your kid and being open with them will of course gain u the sense of trust. Dont damage a sound relationship which u have build with your kid

Answer 7

You cant really. The only probably way is to try to answer the secret question, thats if you really know your child. Try guessing hte password, think like your child

Answer 8

i dont think you should do that... you should just tell them what not to do on the internet, and to use common sense, and im sure theyll be okay.... because if you keep watching them and not trusting them theyll probably rebel, thinking that if they tell you things youll want to be in their business. so they wont tell you or ask you to do things, and then youll know NOTHING about them, and theyll eventually end up doing drugs, and throwing their life away!

Answer 9

Contact your internet provider and tell them that you are an parent and need to sse your childs e mails and any messages they get.

Answer 10

ask the password and go to options and activate the "forward messages to another email address" options and "leave a copy on the server" so that he/she will be able to read too.
