How can you read your child's text messages?

Answer 1

This is an easy question to answer. When they are asleep, you simply take their phone and turn it on. You can check the inbox and sent. If all the messages are deleted, there is an alternative way.

Take the back of the phone and open it up. Pull out the SIM card in the back. Place 4 wires on the two center and outer metal regions of the card, and place the other end of the wires onto the 4 metal parts in a usb drive on the computer. If done correctly, the phones scripting page will come up and show all deleted messages.

You should not read your child's text messages because it is an invasion of privacy. If you are sincerely worried about them, then you should talk to them about the situation, not read their messages, unless the situation is very serious. In this case, yes, you should read the messages.

Answer 2

You ignore the child's whining protests and juvenile threats such as the ones that follow and let the child know that privacy is a guaranteed right only for adults. Further, let the child know that full disclosure of text messages, at your whim, is a condition of using the phone. When the child matures he will understand that parenting is tough and protecting a child sometimes involves your taking charge and doing unpopular things.

If you child finds out you read his or her text messages, your gonna be screwed.

Trust me, I'm 15 and I'd literally ignore my parents for a long while if I found out they read my messages. I'm still pissed at my brother for reading my personal things, and that was 3 months ago.

I completely agree. I am almost 15 and my dad is reading my text messages as we speak. I HATE HIM FOR THAT. It is your child privacy and you have no reason to read them. If they wanted you to know then they would tell you. PARENTS WHO READ TEXT MESSAGES THAT ARENT THEIR OWN MAKE ME SICK!!
