[quote=Anonymous]Wow Op. Let?  What else does your 14 year old not “let” you do?

You do realize that whatever she isn’t letting you see could have been shared all over the school?  I have a friend who was like you. She ended up with kids passing topless photos of her DD around the school. The kid ended up having to change schools

I had the PIN or biometric access to my kids phones. Spot checked regularly at first and checked regularly.  Then as I saw their behavior was fine, less regularly.  Then not at all unless there was an issue.

But, it’s a big risk to let your 14 year old one the phone with no supervision.  The internet is forever.  Increasingly, kids are getting into college admissions trouble with internet use.

Lock or disable  the phone.  Take it away. Remind her you paid for the phone and pay for the service. Keep it for a week and let her detox.  And then  tell you are willing to go through her entire phone, app by app with her.  Get the PIN or put your biometrics in, and tell her if she locks you out, it’s game over for the phone. [/quote]
