[quote=Anonymous]OP- I have a DS14. I do occasionally check his phone, but I explain why I'm doing this- and it's not to invade privacy. The easiest way to check a phone is to: 1. Require that the phone is "turned in" at a certain time of night 2. Put parental restrictions on the phone that include being unable to change the password 3. Then periodically auditing phone use when the phone is in your possession (for big things like bullying, safety, worrisome behavior, etc). 4. Ensuring that your DD knows that you will periodically check the phone and why--she doesn't have to like it, but it's out in the open that it's a condition of her having a phone. Demanding to see the phone while it's in your kid's hands will cause a fight and seem highly controlling--just have the phone at night and randomly check it every once in awhile. [/quote]
