So your kid is out playing in the "back yard" and you want to keep an eye on her. A lot of kids are going to say that is wrong. You and I know that, as parents, keeping an eye on our kids is important. When you let them go outside to play you have to check on them.
I use a tool called a key logger to review the traffic she sends. Since I also use a router and a server I also use some tools to snoop on the network traffic coming in and out of her computer, just like any employer can and most do.
I occasionally check the key logger and a couple of times my wife and I have had to have a talk with her about some of the things she is doing on the internet, cyber sex and such.
I don't read everything she does any more than I watch her every moment. I just spot check occasionally, just like I have for years no matter what she is doing.
These tools are probably too advanced for you since you don't know what they are.
You didn't let your child play outside with her friends before you could trust her to play safely. If you can't trust her to play safely now, don't let her play.
Just remember that kids are kids and they are going to experiment and learn. If they don't trust their teachers they will make their own mistakes instead of learning from the mistakes of others.
Some of her friends will not trust their teachers and those friends will encourage her not to trust her teachers because they can't comprehend how she could trust them.
Sure, she can ruin her life. Kids who think parents who don't watch them, who don't teach them, who don't care about them, are "cool" will think you are awful for watching (spying) on your kids, for setting limits, expecting them to do things.
Welcome to parenthood and kids who think they have a clue and know absolutely nothing.

There are dozens of programs for spying on your children. Some record all keystrokes for you to examine latter as others log their sites that they visit

Yeah seriously. The only way you can do it is if you get the password. And still it would be wrong.

You're a cruel, cruel person. No. What if someone spied on your private stuff, huh, BUB?!
