In a perfect world, you wouldn’t have to secretly check on your teen’s online behavior. The two of you would have sat down together, set up rules you both agreed on, and your teen would have behaved in a trustworthy manner.
Unfortunately, it’s not a perfect world.
Whatever reason you have for being concerned about your teen’s online activities, you may decide that you need to secretly check on that behavior.
Keep in mind, though, that you won’t be able to check on everything. Teens nowadays have access to the Internet practically everyone, from school to the library to friends’ homes to Wi-Fi hotspots all over town. And with today’s new devices, they don’t even need a computer.
Not only that, but they probably have friends who can show them methods, such as using a proxy server, to bypass blocks you may place on their Internet access.
