I've never listened in on my childrens calls or snooped about their rooms. But then again I've had no reason to think I needed to. Had I a 14 year old daughter seeing an 18 year old boy I may feel different. I suspect this mother had good cause to be suspicious.

This mother indeed had good cause to be suspicious. The ridiculous idea that her 14 y/o daughter ... her DAUGHTER ... had an 18 y/o boyfriend is unreal. There is a big difference in those four years and personally I would not have allowed this nonsense to continue. The mother mentions in the story that this girl was "out of control". The mother has the right to be a parent and that means knowing exactly what's going on in your child's life. At the age of 14 I think you have the right to be a kid in a parent's home where the parent still knows what's best for you in your life. You do not have the right to complete privacy and if you are a 14 y/o GIRL... a GIRL not yet a woman ... you will get more oversight from me as your father than you would probably ever care for end of story. And any 18 y/o punk ass purse snatcher better be thinking about moving along....
