Granted, I'm not really far removed from the "joys" of parental snooping, but c'mon... listening in on a phone conversation? I mean, I see where posters like Cadwiz and flamingdog are coming from, and I would agree with them for a lot of things, but kids do deserve privacy and freedom too. Do they deserve the same amount as an adult? No. In general anyway. How can we expect our kids to utilize their rights when they grow up if they've been told they have none throughout their formative years? And how can we teach our kids about all these freedoms and rights just to tell them immediately after that they don't have them? That's like waving a steak in front of a hungry dog and pulling it away every time the dog tries to take a bite. You shouldn't be so damn surprised to get bitten every once in a while.
