"Your son will hate you"
"Yes Yes! *smiles and laughs*"

[AverageFrog]

I think they crossed the line between cyber safety and a privacy invasion.

Tonight, we say a little prayer for our long lost friend, privacy

[Jade-kxdm]

*I WAS SO SKEPTICAL WHEN MY HUSBAND IS ALWAYS LATE FROM WORK, GAVE ME SO MANY EXCUSES WHY HE ALWAYS COME BACK LATE AND HE'S ALWAYS TEXTING AND SMILING. THANKS I WAS INTRODUCED TO **TRACKANDSPYCELL.ORG** WHO HELPED ME CHECKED HIS PHONE ACTIVITIES WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE, CHEATERS ALWAYS THINK THEY'RE SMART WHEN THEY LIE AND YOU ACT DUMB LIKE YOU BELIEVE THE LIES*

Dan and I met in a way even romantic comedy writers would roll their eyes at (you can read more about it here). In 2013, I was studying abroad in England for a year, and he was a British student at the same university. We met through mutual friends at a Halloween party and started dating after that. That eight month time span was the only time we’ve lived in the same town, during our almost seven year relationship! Since then, we’ve been in a long distance relationship. I’m not going to lie, it was rocky at the start, and we actually broke up for a few months. A 5 hour time difference is tough for anyone, and at 20 years old, that was a huge commitment. We weren’t very good at being broken up, though, and after only a few months we got back “together” – even though we were 4, 000 miles apart. In 2015 I moved back to England, where I lived for the next three years, but we were still long distance. With an hour’s drive between us, though, that didn’t seem bad at all. Due to visa, health, and career reasons, I decided to move back to the USA in 2018. It’s been a lot easier doing the 4, 000 mile distance now that we are older and more experienced at this whole crazy thing! Moreover I was able to track his phone activities using BrianHacksOnline.com Totally untraceable, cheap and anonymous. Let him know I referred you

[aodhandaly]

I don’t want my parents to see what I’m doing every night in my bedroom. 😂

[vladrusu]

Imagine just lookin through your phone and you're like, "I didn't install this, *delete*"

[roxyrobinson]

Reporter: "your kids will hate you but-"
Me: "you would rather have your kids hating you?"

[onee]

Parents who do this don't deserve kids. Since apparently they fail to raise them the normal way.

[lamasu]

"Well honey your always on that phone and I don't want you on the naughty places!!!" "Mom I'm 27. Please. Can I please move out now?"

[trevoranderson]

This is an absolute invasion of privacy. Instead of doing this, you should teach your kids how to be responsible online. That would show much more maturity and guidance than simply fixing the symptom.

[cybrgrl-ari]

Thank God my parents don't watch the news 😂

[zlane]

App monitors internet history
Incognito mode: *Am I a joke to you?*

[jesusking]

I wouldn’t even bother to have a phone if my parents did this
