Introduction: Harlen Coben in an editorial titled”’The Undercover Parent’’ (March 16,2008). Coben states that a parent was looking at what her 15 year-old son was looking at.Another thing Coben states is that parents are now hooking up spyware on their computer or cell phone. Coben’s argument is, that overprotective parents don’t want to hook up a spyware on their kids computer or cell phone.’’ Some will say that it’s better just to use parental blocks that deny access to risky sites. I have found that they don’t work. Children know how to get around them. but more than that-and this is where it gets tough-i want to know what’s being said in e-mail and instant messages and in chat rooms.’’
