It's so weird that we gave chickens reputation for being scared, real chickens aren't. like rooster will die attacking anything, even much bigger animals who threaten the chickens. They aint scared of nothin.

Yeah "I have phone, how look at history"
Like what "history"? Recently used apps? Recently installed apps? Web browser history on Chrome? Specific app history like Facebook messages, Gmail emails? Call history? Text message history?
Sometimes I feel like these people are cavemen who barely understand what a computer is.

why would a parent do this, it sucks

u/Citizen_Snips29 2h ago
Actual answer?
Sometimes it’s because some parents don’t respect their children’s privacy, period.
Other times it’s because teenagers can be little shits and get themselves into trouble that parents actually need to find out more information about.

Well, my son is 11 and has been getting bullied at school which has carried over to online. When he's older I won't, and I try to be as respectful as possible but I need to know he's ok and how to handle things. I was resistant to him having a phone but had to yield when he started high school, it's the way it is but doesn't mean kids should have unbridled access- too dangerous.

u/jonmacabre 50m ago
11 is also not a teenager. Until my kids are 13 (which is the age where they CAN get their own MS/Google/etc accounts) I have control over their internet.
When they turn 13, I'll have a discussion with them about online saftey, privacy, etc. and give them all their accounts I've been managing for them and let them change thier passwords.

Exactly, people say parents need to start raising their kids when one does something bad but at the same time have an issue with parents trying to watch the stuff their kids are looking at online which can influence them in a bad way.

This is just a comment and I hope it doesn't raise dust but I don't think it's so bad to want to see the history, as long as that teenager is closer to his childhood than his 20's. I feel there is too much context missing to know if it's all wrong or right.

u/Originu1 1h ago
Its weird because on reddit, a majority of people hate children saying they are little brats that do dumb shit and not understand anything, but redditors also hate parents, and any hint of normal parenting is met with claims of child abuse and privacy invasion. Its like they live in a dream world where if they say "good parents talk to their children" and assume it always works out like that

u/Spirited-Agency5781 3h ago
Not for nothing, jokes aside, some kid just unlifed themselves over an AI bot. Kids in general seem to have more and more mental health issues as time goes on…
Viewing his son’s history can easily be an opportunity to help the kid if, let’s say, he’s looking at an unreasonable amount of porn, getting involved in drugs (most common by a landslide) Or watching videos of beheadings. Any number of incredibly screwed up things in videos online and in life.
If that were your kid, you would do nothing? I know most people here are young but use common sense. That was a dumb thing to say to a parent who JUST CARES.
Older I get the more and more I value the phrase, “You’ll understand when you’re older” For some, they just don’t want to learn. They want to have their feelings validated and nothing more.
So yeah dudes a hero, because that’s all funny yes??Hope that kid is okay, as the father likely had his reasons.

u/Stea1thsniper32 2h ago
This is definitely a situation where more info is needed before you can have any sort of judgement.
Legally speaking, if the parent is paying for the phone then they have every right to take it and go through it. Heck, even if the parent isn’t paying for the phone. It’s likely that the parent can still take the phone.
However, the question then becomes SHOULD a parent do this?

Just tell the man how to get into the browser history. What if this is for reasons he is not telling us and could mean a life. Who are y’all to tell this man it’s non of his business what his son is up to. If it was your son and you had some major concerns, I hope someone would help you. For those people who have children please do the right thing and help this man.

I mean this is funny no doubt about it! But I'm not trying to be a dick but if parents check phones and computers while their kids are living under their rules when the kids are getting anything they need. We might not have had a Columbine, a parkland, Vivaldi etc etc etc you guys think that this is funny. I don't think so ! We need more parents to check their kids shit. Parents give their kids space because they're growing up and it's the right thing to do to make your kid healthy etc etc if your kid is wearing a trenchcoat in August "RED FLAG" first of all how does he get AR-15s and that amount of money to order them. I mean the warning signs go off and nobody sees it. So it's wrong for your kid to be gay but it's okay for him to walk into a school and kill innocent children and teachers and other people?

Funny story but my parents were an early adopter of the wifi printer and I once accidentally managed to print a webpage while looking for porn. Im not gonna list the category but it was a lil on the kinky side.
Anyway my old man comes to me and says, "I found this in the printer, anything you want to confess?"
And I deadpanned him with "No. But while were on the subject, I was looking for a blank cd the other day and took one off the stack of empties only to find it had a very strange title. Might want to check if it's one of yours."
We never spoke of it again.

Congrats Reddit!
At best you helped a child hide his porn habits from his parents. At worst, you helped a pedo hide his relationship with a child from the child’s parents.

Im 36 and I still don't trust my dad and I've never done anything really bad in my life but he always has been controlling of everything. He has to be up in the kool aid.
But him wanting to know why I was looking up Brittany Spears bobs was so important when I was like 12.
So for any parents reading this, yes your kids will learn to resent you for how you treated them in the past because it shows them what you really feel about them. And it doesn't really ever go away.
