"As a parent you have a right to snoop..."
I agree...it might save the life of the most precious kid on the planet to you. In the age we are in, parents need to throw the pc approach out the window and open up the survival manual. No one is going look out for them as you can. Stay tight knit!
Cheers to that! I having a glass of wine and oldest child is at sleepover and baby child is sleeping!
Snooping should include any possible "secret hiding places" they may have (under dresser drawers, in socks, folded in clothes, under mattresses, etc. etc. etc.). They're generally smart enough to know you might discover what they don't want found :)
