Well, if he is the Washington State Supreme Court says, "Sucks to be you! You cannot tell anyone."
This is the MOST ridiculous thing I have ever seen and when I found out it didn't come for the ninth district I really became worried. Parents can't monitor kids' phone calls!
Excuse me? Aren't the parents paying for the phone service? As far as I am concerned, if someone uses my phone--unless they ask for privacy--I should be able to hear the whole conversation.
I just want to spit!

Yeah. I thought that was ri-god-damn-diculous, too. Kids have more rights than parents. I wish I knew that when I was younger.
As a parent, I can say that I didn't become suspicious until their behavior warrented it. Teenagers especially are terribly clever at preying upon their parents' timidity. I didn't give a damn when my kids' feelings were hurt/crushed because their behavior made me suspicious. That emotional blackmail ceases when they see it doesn't work. If the law said I couldn't listen in, then I'd ban the kid from using MY phone, which I've done.
How did I misrepresent the case, Paul? What this case says is that whatever is gleamed from eavesdropping on a child's phone call cannot be used to prosecute. So if my child was, say, Johnny Walker Lind, then I could tell the cops but they couldn't do anything about it by way of putting him in jail.
AND, if they gathered further evidence based on a warrant based on the initial eavesdropping, then all that would be thrown out of court.
hmmm, Sounds like STCA needs a time out!

I have a question for Anonymous who said...
"When the people are not trusted, they become untrustworthy. In other words, if you spy on your children, they will become secretive.
Asshole."
Why don't you let us raise our children the way we wish to raise them instead of creating laws to stop us? Why is "Let your child do everything it wants" such a good idea that a law has to be made stopping a parent from taking some responsibility against a misbehaving child?

M@, your comments are so wise! I think you are right; this was actually an instance where the court was not legislating from the bench.
So do you suggest that because of this case that the state legislature pass laws allowing parents to listen in on their children's conversations?
But the one thing that sticks with me is this: was this decision reached through an interpretation of wire-tap law? As far as I am concerned, there was no recording of the phone call and there would be NO difference if the mother sat outside her daughter's bedroom and listened at the door or simply picked up the receiver and did the same.
