In Harlan Coben’s essay “Undercover Parent”, the issue of
parents putting spyware in their childrens’ computers is brought up. He poses
the question of whether or not invading teenagers privacy is wrong or if it is allowable in order to protect their children. Coben uses examples like his
friend found out that his straight A daughter was actually using drugs and
sleeping with her drug dealer to convey the audience that spyware is okay as
long as it is for the right reasons.
Coben ends his summary by saying that even though our society is based
on freedom, the extensive amounts of information on Internet can get our children in trouble and parents need to protect them. He
also suggests that it is a good idea to tell children that you have put spyware
in their computers or just show them his article and have a serious talk about
the danger of the Internet.
