Knowing You"re Teen - Do You Know Where & What Your Teen is Doing?

Do you really know what your teen is up to? Is your teenager really at her/his friend's house like they told you? If you are asking yourself these questions, you've probably already figured out they are not! The "tell tale" signs you've already identified are enough to create suspicion, and like the old saying goes "where there is smoke, there is fire.
"  It's true, in this day and age; teenagers are subjected to so many temptations with drugs, alcohol, sex, and many other things you don't even want to imagine.
You may not realize it, but you (the parent) can be civilly liable for what your teenager is doing when they are not with you.
 If they are driving your car in a reckless manner and someone is injured in an auto accident due to your teen's actions, it could be devastating to you financially, not to mention the incredible emotional toll which the family will go through if your teen is injured or killed, or someone else dies in an auto accident.
 Believe me; you don't want to go through that.
 I've seen so many parents over the years who've said, "if only I had known.
" Well, in fact most of them did know, they just did not want to face it or deal with it.
 It's much better to deal with it now, than later, after all the damage is done.
Knowing what your teen is doing is your job! Really, don't feel guilty about wanting to know, or even considering hiring a professional private investigator help you find out if your suspicions are true or false.
 Believe it or not, a discreet investigation by an experienced professional can be done without your teenager ever knowing anyone has checked on them.
 Maybe you'll find out they are telling "the truth, and nothing, but the truth.
" Let's hope so, but you do have every right and responsibility as a parent to know "what is my teen up to?" The fact is you may be saving your child's life! That's right, it is just that important, and you may be saving someone else's life also.
 Not just from physical death, but from the devastating effects of abuse of drugs, alcohol, and driving privileges.
   If your son is driving your car 100mph while "showing off" to friends; don't you want to know that?; don't you have "a right" to know that? I understand you can't follow them around all the time, but with today's technology, you don't have to.
 That is what GPS is for, we can install a small device on the car they are driving (yours), and monitor everywhere they go, how long they stay, and how fast they are getting there.
 We can monitor their cellular phone usage (if paid for by you), and determine who they are really talking to.
 We can even monitor who they are talking to on a computer (is your daughter talking to a predator online?).
  Then, if any of the information reveals anything suspicious, we can follow-up with more traditional investigative methods to determine exactly what is going on.
I know what you're thinking, "oh, I can't do that; I would be invading their privacy.
"  YES! That's right, you would be, they are your child and you are responsible until they reach a legal age.
 Besides all that, I know you want the best for them.
 Just like when your teen was a child, you didn't just let them run freely in the street.
  Why? Because, it was dangerous to run in the street.
 It's the same today; it's dangerous to be a teenager in this day and age of temptation like no other time in history.
 Young people today have some much more to deal with than we ever did.
 They need our help, even if they don't think so.
 Actually, we have found they will really appreciate you cared for them in this effort when they get older.
 At least they will get older! Remember, it will be up to you when and if you ever tell them about the "little" investigation into their activities.
Really folks, this is serious business; saving our young people from the "wilds" of this world is serious business, and requires serious techniques to be sure they are really ok.
 If you're reading this article, it's probably because you're suspicious.
 If you are suspicious, then let us help you clear it up.
  Yes, it will cost you money, but the cost will be small compared to the consequences of letting it go and it turns into one of the serious conditions I've already discussed.
  Even if you find out, and let's hope so, that you're teen is a much better kid than you ever thought; that peace of mind will be worth the money spend.
