Do parents have the right to check their children's cell phone messages and phone bills?

No, but if it's a minor under 10, it's ok.

Natural persons have equal capacity for civil rights and everyone has the right to privacy.

No one may interfere with other people's private space without authorization, but minors cannot prevent their parents from carrying out normal supervision because of their privacy. Because minors have not yet been able to accurately distinguish right from wrong, many things need the guidance of parents.

Privacy is a personal right that should be respected, but parents are guardians of minors, and minors are not ready to distinguish right from wrong.

Therefore, parents can supervise, but they must do it with the permission of minors, but they have no right to infringe.

Article 30 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of Minors stipulates that no organization or individual may disclose the personal privacy of minors.

Article 31 stipulates that no organization or individual may conceal or destroy the letters of minors; No organization or individual may open the letters of minors without legal capacity, except that the public security organs and people's procuratorates check them in accordance with the procedures prescribed by law in order to trace crimes, or their parents or other guardians open them on their behalf.

As parents, they can communicate with their children, let them open their hearts and speak their inner thoughts.

As a child, don't always use the law to oppress people. Parents all over the world want their children to live better than themselves. Parents are willing to give everything for their children, but not all parents are psychologists and educators (but love is the same), especially adolescent rebellious children. It is understandable that some parents are at a loss.

Parents and children should learn to put themselves in other's shoes.
