Most people have had those awkward moments when their parents are spying on them when they are on the computer or when they are talking to their friends and possibly wondered why their parents do not trust their children. Well, it is not that their parents are not trusting their children; it is actually the fact that the parents are worrying about their children because parents do not want their children to be hurt by pornography, cyber-bullying, drugs or meeting strangers. Therefore, parents have the right to “spy” on their children under these circumstances so that they could prevent the terrifying consequences happening to their children.
Firstly, pornography is a massive problem in the society now and a lot of parents are failing at protecting their children from pornography. Pornography, also known as porn for short, destroys marriages. Porn destroys people’s sexual desire towards their spouse when they are using it, because once a person watches porn, it would affect them

However, this may be impossible since children nowadays are getting in contact with tons of strangers on the internet which they do not know at all in life outside the internet. There are many malevolent people on the internet who disguise themselves as teenagers or pretend to be a friend so that they could kidnap children to trade them for money, sexually assault them or even kill them. These terrifying circumstances happen to a lot of people; kids are kidnapped and the parents are forced to pay a ransom in order to get back their kids but occasionally kids are also sold to other people as slaves, kids also can get raped whether if they are male or female, and children even get murdered in some cases. Thus, parents should watch over their children to protect them from strangers especially strangers that kids meet on the
The authors major claim is that he 's trying to tell the parents that they should get spyware. For me the strongest claim is the one where the boy talks to the pedophile and the girl almost committed suicide because of cyberbullying online, The weakest is the one where you have to put the spyware on your computer. For me i haven 't seen or experience any of them in my entire life or other of my siblings. In other words, parents won 't consider it
Should parents have the right to put spyware on their children computers. Harlan Coben the author of “ Undercover Parent ” published by the New York Times on March 16, 2008 highlights the fact that it's scary to put spyware on your your children computers, Most parents won't even consider it. From my point of view with Cobens argument because most parents don't know what they're really do on the internet. Coben speaks about how some people will say that it's better just to use parental blocks that denies access to inappropriate sites.
Is privacy really important?Do kids have a choice?According to Harlan Coben teens and kids who have access to the internet should be monitored by parents or by spyware. I agree with Mr.Coben because we should know what teens or kids of today go on while not being monitored. Parents should monitor their kids use of the internet even with spyware. I think spyware is a good thing to be used on kids. According to Harlan Coben ignoring your kid is negligence cause then that shows your kid that they could do or go on anything without being caught.
“I don’t call it spying; I call it parenting “this is said by many protecting parents from all over the world. There’s been many debates about this problem, many parents having to spy on their child’s smart phone or social media. First, the parent’s job is to help the child’s development in life, not spy on it. Lori Day has great examples in “Brutally Honest”, an psychologist and mother considers spying “an invasion of privacy and a violation of trust this is said on lines 22-24.
Stalking Is Different Than Monitoring In “The Undercover Parent”, by Harlan Coben he argues that parents have a right to monitor their children, by putting spyware on their computers or other devices, making it possible to see what they spend their time doing and to whom they spend their time talking. Though, the way that most teens see it, if a parent is allowing their child onto social media, then they should trust them enough to the point where they shouldn’t have to monitor everything they’re doing. While online, people can definitely change.
Parents Vs. Internet In the article “ The Undercover Parent,” Coben talks about how parents should monitor their kids. He goes on about the benefits and disadvantages of using spyware by using anecdotes and counterclaims. Coben seems to argue that parents should definitely monitor their kids but he never seems to agree with parents using spyware on an everyday basis.
In Harlan Coben’s The Undercover Parent, Coben brings up the topic of parents installing spyware on their children’s computer. Although Coben was a little iffy about this subject at first, he now thinks it is a good idea because it could help make parents more aware of what is going on, protect children from talking to pedophiles, and cyberbullying. Many matters are mentioned by Coben, but in his argument he overlooks several aspects, and fails to elaborate on certain
Censorship of Books Today, many books are often challenged or banned in the education system. Books often get banned for a variety of reasons such as vulgar language, sexual references, racism, etc. Lord of the Flies by William Golding is often banned by school systems for various reasons.
Online, everything you post is permanent and all things can be traced back to you. If parents monitor their children’s online use they can be assured that they don’t post something that can ruin their future. Furthermore, I agree with Coben because there are so numerous stories of scandals people have gotten into because of what they posted. For example, David McMillan talks about two teens ruined their lives in his “How To Ruin Your Life In 14 Minutes”. He explains how two teens messed up their lives by posting a video “in which they spewed a truckload of racist comments.”
In Harlan Cobens news article “The Undercover Parent” (March 16 2008) suggests that parents of teenagers should be putting spyware to use on their computers. It had all began with the useage of spyware was brought up which had reppeled him but after he had done some research on it he had found out that it has many uses that can save your teeneagers life. In order to portray his claim on pro-spyware he had a couple of his friends over who put spyware on their kids computers and he had them tell him what they’ve found about their kids.
In our world, Society gets watched twenty-four seven and some people know it, but they either do not care or just go along. So in reality, Society could prevent this problem by removing social media off of their habits and be spy free. “Young adults (85% of whom are smartphone owners) are also incorporating their mobile devices into a host of information seeking and transactional behaviors. About three-quarters of 18-29 year old smartphone owners have used their phone in the last year to get information about a health condition; about seven-in-ten have used their phone to do online banking or to look up information about job; 44% have consumed educational content on their phone; and 34% have used their phone to apply for a job.” “Behind Winston’s back the voice from the telescreen was still babbling away...of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment” (2-3).
Pornography is one of those terms that people know about and even engage in but are afraid to talk about. They way people have seen and engage in pornography have changed throughout the ages. People have developed a love and a hate towards pornography. For myself, I think that pornography is a good way to explore your sexuality. Pornography is “a graphic display of human sexuality”.
An article published by BBC News UK states that almost one out of five children have at some point experienced to be bullied online. These dangers are only som of many dangers youths may have to deal with in the world because of the technology. Despite of the dangers to brows the internet, the web can also be a great source for information and pleasure, but it is important to know the risks as well. Just because there are some dangerous things about the web.
That being said, the internet could be a very dangerous thing for children to discover. The internet has many uses and can teach us many great things but letting children use it can lead to bad things, such as changes in attitude, thought process and general health conditions. It could corrupt their minds in ways that may not be suitable for the youth. An example of negative access to the internet would have to violence.
Fear of a parent or guardian being cross is often more frightening than the uncomfortable experience they 've had online, but that is what some nasty people will count on.
