If he is paying for his phone (which I don't know if he is or not) then I believe she or any parent has no right to look at private messages on the phone. If mum or dad pays for the phone then yes they do.
But that is in my book where you draw the line.

I think that it's a fair statment to say that if he's under the legal age, that she should know what he is doing. I'm not saying that she should always get on the phone and look at it. I just think that something like the sex issue she should know about. Maybe my relationship is different with my kids. I just come right out and ask what I feel that I need to know. My daughter is very open with me. I also have 2 teenage boys, 15, and 16. I have asked them. I only ask them, because I want to make sure they are going to be responsible about it. My boys don't like it when I ask, but someone has got to do it. Here is a good example. I have a cousin who was pregnant at the age of 14. Had the baby when she was 15. Not only was she pregnant, she also caught an std that will be with her for the rest of her life. My aunt never talked to her about any of these things. If she did maybe the outcome would have been different. Parents need to know that the stuff that we watch on tv can also happen to us. We can't be blind sided by it. I had my daughter when I was 17, and it is not something that I want her to repeat, or my boys.
