DD is 12 and uses Instagram. No judging please, we talked about staying safe, only accepting people she knows irl, not using her name/location etc. My husband and I both follow her etc.
Anyway, a month or I was taking her to a weekend camp and she didn't have her phone but mentioned her friend had sent a DM regarding a birthday sleepover. She used my phone to log in so I could read the message. I helped her compile the reply (she was asking several friends what dates they were available) and she sent the message, had a scroll of her ig and about 10 min later handed my phone back. A few hours later a notification popped up and I realised she hadn't logged out.
I still haven't logged out and she hasn't realised.
I'm going to be really honest, I have read her direct messages ever since.. is that crossing a line and should I just log out or is it good parenting to keep an eye on what she is doing online?
Just to add, the group chats she's part of are general preteen chats. Occasionally a swear word thrown in and mostly her replies are utter nonsense, random wittering about the band's she loves and films she's watching.
So log off/ stay on.. wwyd?
