As a parent, do you occasionally monitor your son/daughters phone? Why do you or don’t you?

[i][c=#BF0080]Yes, there are some sick people out there.. I recently briefly checked messages on Instagram and saw one from April of a HS senior trying to meet up with my then 8th grade child 😑 She did well. She told him she had a bf and even if she didn’t it wouldn’t matter because he was way too old for her to hang out with. He proceeded to tell her he wanted to be more than friends and she ignored the messages. Then over the summer while in college now, he tried to get her to meet with him as friends. She ignored every message after telling him in April that he was too old for her. I wanted to message him to leave her alone and something else I won’t say here, but I don’t want her to start deleting things. I felt she did the right thing, but it still makes me sick a college kid is trying to hook up with 14 year olds. I’d love to set him up and get him caught 😒 [/c][/i]
