SHOULD PARENTS LOOK AT THEIR CHILDREN’S SOCIAL MEDIA? Now that children have greater access than ever to the Internet, parents are facing a new set of dilemmas: should they monitor where their kids go, what websites they visit and what they say and see on social media? Or should teens be allowed a realm of privacy? On one hand, the first thing to take into consideration is that parents role is to protect and educate their children. It is undeniable that Internet can be a threat to everyone, especially inexperienced kids, as it is full of dangers such as hackers, stockers, killers, cyber bullies and rapist hidden with false identities. Therefore, they think they need to monitor them to keep their safety. On the other hand, their children might see it as an invasion of their privacy or a lack of trust. Moreover, some kids might even purposely hide some things from their parents. Social media is dangerous, but if you have a good bond, they will tell you almost everything and if they don’t, that's their choice. Everyone needs a personal life. In conclusion, although Internet is full of dangers and parent’s role is to protect their kids, I believe that to snoop is not the solution as it is an invasion of their privacy and can cause teens to lose trust on their parents. In my opinion, it’s better to warn and educate them rather than to spy on them.
