Is it illegal for a mother to look after her children?

Legal analysis: It is illegal for a mother to take care of her children's privacy, which violates the children's privacy. Children are also citizens, protecting citizens' privacy. Generally speaking, it is normal for parents to read their children's text messages and check a chat record. However, from now on, parents peeking at their children's short messages may infringe on their children's privacy and lead to illegality. Where there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall prevail.

Legal basis: Article 990 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Civil Law is the right to life, body, health, name, portrait, reputation, honor and privacy enjoyed by civil subjects. In addition to the personality rights stipulated in the preceding paragraph, natural persons enjoy other personality rights based on personal freedom and personal dignity.
