Is it OK to secretly snoop on your kids?

Thirty-five percent of parents are snooping on their kids' digital devices -- in secret, according to a recent Harris poll.

Parents now have the ability to check up on their kids' social activities online, through Facebook, Instagram and texts. There are even third-party applications that allow reports to be sent to parents that monitor incoming and outgoing calls and messages -- where they come from, what time they were made and the number the child is getting in contact with.

"I don't consider it snooping. I consider it being a parent," one parent weighed in on CafeMom. "It's my job to get my kids to adulthood safely. Teens aren't forthcoming. I'll do what I have to to keep them safe."

But some parents think that's taking it too far.

"Anything password protected, I say no to snooping," another parent said. "Either I trust my kids with social media, or I don't. If I feel the need to snoop, they probably need their computer taken way or I need to calm down."

There's no doubt that kids should be wary of what they put out there, but is there a better way to teach your kids than monitor their every move?
