[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I explain that it's mine, not theirs, and as such I can take it any time.  Then I did and would read texts and look at who they are friends with on Snapchat, Tik Tok, Insta, Finsta, etc.

By 15 I wasn't really checking anymore.  I didn't care if my kids cursed. The only thing they did that bothered me was being connected with kids whose handles denigrated women/girls or incorporated the N-word.  I told them my feelings and let it go. My daughters have gotten d**k pics but my oldest came up with the solution of screenshooting it and re-posting so everyone would know what they did. Every single boy begged them not to do that, or to take it down once they did.  We had many talks about pedophilia and legalities, etc.

My kids know enough to talk shit about other kids in person, not online where someone can screen shot it. [b]But really, by 15, your kid should either be capable of handling their phone in a mature way, or shouldn't have one.[/quote][/b]

Completely naive to think it is this black and white. Even a responsible 15 year old is capable of making bad decisions online or unknowingly being preyed upon.[/quote]
