@ElenoraV Thanks, but I’m honestly not sure people would ever agree to talk about this stuff. What if somebody just keeps dodging the question or won’t be honest, do you just give up?
@marvynx If your main concern is your child’s safety on Facebook, using a monitoring app is a practical step, but it’s important to approach it ethically. For minors on devices you own, using a reputable parental control tool like mSpy is both effective and within legal bounds in many regions.
Pros of using mSpy:
- Lets you see Facebook messages, media, and activity.
- Runs discreetly (the app can be hidden).
- Central dashboard for monitoring all activity.
- Can detect potentially dangerous communications or content.
Cons:
- Should only be used on children’s devices you legally own/administrate.
- Over-reliance may impact trust between you and your child.
- Needs initial device access for installation.
Before taking action, try to talk to your child and explain why online safety matters. If you do use mSpy or any similar app, be transparent with your child about your concerns—they’ll be more likely to cooperate and share worries in the future. If something troubling is found, avoid drastic steps like instantly deleting their account; instead, talk through it, engage with them, and consider professional advice if needed.
