ok this is a stupid post. The fact will remain that the united states government does not really recognize people under the age of 18 as actual citizens. That is because they are under the charge of their parents/legal guardian.
This does not mean that they should be suspended in some orwellian society until the day they become full fledged "adults". Yeah discipline is important but it is not some magic ingredient that will singlularly prepare you for life.
As a parent you should realize that there may come a time when you need to violate your childs privacy, this should not be the norm only the responce to extreme situations.
Being a good parent involves a large amount of trust, invading your childs privacy will destroy this trust, thus degrading the parent child relationship. Extreme discretion should be used in any situation that might damage parent child relations. The childs safety, and the safety of those around him are more important than his/her privacy.
oh well i hope i made sense...
