well, I don't have a teenager, but when I do, I'm sure I'll take reasonable steps to monitor their safety. I think it's reasonable to spy on their internet activity, even if it is to confirm that you've done a good job and you can see they are handling themselves well. Would I call them out and stop them for every step they take into adulthood, no. If i were to find out one of my sons was regularly visiting bigjugs.com I might at some point have a discussion with him about respect and objectifying women, but not necessarily his online habits. If I found out he was chatting about meeting up with big cal from Cleveland, you bet I'm going to step in and not feel the least bit of guilt for having spied.
Even now, I go through his backpack, see just how many candy wrappers are to be found (man I gotta teach that kid to hide better...)no guilt.
