I couldn't help but laugh from beginning to end reading that article. Its one of those few stories were everyone involved is somehow wrong and is clowning it up center stage for all the world to see.
What a bunch of mooks.

Personally I'd like to see what she posted. However he's the child, and she's the parent so she has every right to access his account. When my kids get older I'll have access to their accounts, and if I don't like something the accounts will be gone.

Not to tell you how to raise your kids but are you going to also listen to their phone conversations and escort them to parties? Viewing your childs publicly posted information is one thing, but logging into their account to see EVERYTHING is a little overboard. But yea, suing your mom over it is stupid. It's her right. And how the hell did a teen file a lawsuit?! |

It's only a precedent-setting moment for the parents who post under their childrens' names online.
She can post whatever she wants to on Facebook, and seeing how her son's response is to sue, I'm guessing there are some deeper issues going on. But if she posted anything while she was logged in under her son's account, then she DID defame him. It'll be pretty open and shut.

It's not overboard to make sure your kids are being good people especially at a time in their lives when they screw things up VERY badly. And I never said I'd do it, but I actually said I'd have access to their information if I need it. You know if their grades start dropping, acting funny, or if something seems wrong. It's not like I'd just drop by random times to read messages. Only if I thought something was wrong and they don't want to talk about it. |

Too bad this didn't happen a few days earlier. Would have been just a bit more fuel for South Park's fire.

It's not like I'd just drop by random times to read messages. Only if I thought something was wrong and they don't want to talk about it. I get what you're saying, it just seems overbearing. My mom was a bit overbearing with some of the things she did. She would do stuff like randomly pick up the phone and listen in on my conversations, and on the off-chance that I forgot to log out of my email my mom would read everything in there. She would read letters that I brought home from school. She even carried on conversations with my friends over AIM because I forgot to log out. The bottom line is that she never really learned anything that really mattered. Sure, she found out that I was having sex with my girlfriend when she went through my email, but I was 17 and it should've been obvious anyway. The thing is, if your kid knows that you have access to their facebook account or whatever, they're going to be sure to delete any incriminating information in the first place. The only thing it's really going to do is piss your kid off. I'm 23 now and I'm still furious at the thought of my mom reading love letters between me and my high school girlfriend. Just offering advice, I definitely don't know your situation or your kids or anything like that. |

Just offering advice, I definitely don't know your situation or your kids or anything like that. That's cool. My kids are too young right now to have a facebook accounts so I'm good for a few years. When I was in my earlier twenties I was still pissed at my mom for things she did. Now that I'm thirty I don't worry about the stuff they got on me about. Most of the time I was completely in the wrong. And you're right, some kids would delete things that would be incriminating. However they may not, and their friends might screw up or have parents that don't care. If you find something you don't like you can confront them. They might or better yet will get pissed. However after they grow up and have kids they'll realize what I was doing. As I've figured out now for myself with kids. And I know all about parents listening in to phone conversations. My dad had a scanner that he picked up myself and my girlfriend at the time having phone sex. That was a pleasant conversation. |

Really? Facebook. Really?
Ok here's the thing: The kid is 16 and his mom was concerned. I get that. The drving 95 miles an hour because he was upset over some girl may be a sign that he is having issues. On the other hand my older brother used to take cars out just to see how fast he cuold go in them so to me this is normal behavior.
Using his account to post messages posing as him is wrong. That was nothing to do with checking up on her kid. That is what the kid is suing over. Not over his mom logging into his account.
If this was a kid using an account to post slanderous things about another kid then charges would be filed.
It shouldn't be any different in this case.

Jeez, I'd be pissed if someone posted stuff on my account but I don't think I would take them to court over it. Seems like an over-reaction.
