Family Friendly Technology Needs-My Two Cents

On the note of family freindly technology, I would like the following wish list:1-The ability to read my childrens cell phone text messages and be emailed or text'd when a x rated word is used.Accidentally, I found some poor unforunate girl's texts to my son that showed her efforts to enlighten my son on things of the sexual matter. He said she was this "nasty" girl who won't stop texting him and he ignores her. I had to send her a text asking her to leave my son alone and that I would be…See More
