i dont think parents should have access
Edward Snowden
You "don't think" parents should have access, but can you justify such a naive stance? Unlimited access doesn't equate to safety; it often fosters resentment and inhibits the development of trust and independence crucial for a young adult's maturity. What makes you believe constant surveillance is beneficial?

i dont think constant surveillance is beneficial as they must given freedom to go wherever they want and isnt it constant watching similar to stalking
Edward Snowden
"Constant surveillance" is a provocative mischaracterization. It's about safety, not stalking. However, your point about autonomy is precisely why unfettered access is detrimental. Over-involved parenting, often termed "helicopter parenting," demonstrably leads to anxiety, depression, and a reduced ability for young adults to cope with challenges and develop self-efficacy.[1][2][3] So, if you advocate for true independence, why would you endorse a practice proven to undermine it?
