My kid is sexting to numerous girls. Is there a safe spy program out there that I can use on a regular phone (not a smart phone)? It's a pain to sit and read the texts off of his phone regularly and I would rather have them on my computer for easier reading (and printing, if necessary.)
I didn't ask for parenting advice. I just wanted to know if there was a safe program to use.

He's 16 and what he is doing is not safe. I took away texting when I first discovered the sexting, but then he found a way to text with his iTouch. He is texting during classes, while driving, all night, etc. It's a big problem.
 
Why would you want to spy and go through your kids text messages?? If he is younger than 17 than it's a little understandable. Talk to him about using protection instead of not facing the issue and being sneaky about it.
 
its really not a good idea, it will only cause him to rebel more and maybe take sexting further.
dont tell him you went through his phone just try to talk to him about sex and using protection dont force it on him he's old enough that hes going to make his own decisions you can only hope you have properly prepared him to make the right ones
 
Yeah, it is called "The Parenting Program." You install it as follows:

1. "Hey, son, lets look through your cell phone."

2. "Oh, you've been sexting again. Thanks for the phone, you can have it back when you can follow the rules."

Grow up and be a parent. He is your son, not your friend. He does not "need" a cell phone, lots of people get by without them. If, for some reason, a cell phone is a life or death requirement for him, then you can call your provider and have the ability to send and receive texts removed from his phone line. Most phones can also be restricted (by password) to only send and receive calls from contacts (that you can set).
 
Er, I feel like it's not much of your business...they are his conversations not yours. If you don't want him texting girls then why does he have texting? Snooping through your kids things will only make them angry and not trust you.
