Just saw the news today on News.com. Software lets parents monitor kids’ calls.

… For example, during the first two days on the phone, Joshua got six calls from a stranger within a few hours–and the Brumfields got six text alerts. So they asked

Joshua about the calls, and he told them they were from a man looking for his ex-girlfriend who didn’t believe that her number had changed. …

I am not surprised by the topic. My first thought is why parents give their kid a cell phone at first place? And watch who their kid was talking to by receiving a text message?

Does our kids have privacy? Or do we protect our kids too much? I just think that we spoiled our kids too much!

Why give them a cell phone and watching them?

Now kids are spoiled by their parents. This is a global problem. Look at the kids in China. Some kids have more than one cell phone. When I was traveling in China in 2006, I saw many kids on the moving train. They don’t sleep much, because they keep talking on the phone or text messaging. For me, there is not much fun at all.

The kids just keep their eyes on those tiny screen on the bus, in the class and walking on the street. Do they learn something from using the cell phone? I believe that parents want to give their kids a cell phone for safety reasons. So they can call their kids and know where they are and what they are doing.

I just can’t believe that parents are now watching and monitoring their kids. Does kid has privacy? If the parents are so afraid about the safety, why not pay more attention on them. I have seen American parents text messaging to their kids at home? I mean “AT HOME.” They don’t talk to each other face to face. Something serious wrong with that picture.
