So my 15 year old son has become obsessed with Instagram over the past few months. Spends literally hours on it daily. Last week his school counselor called saying he's been skipping classes and his behavior changed dramatically. When we confronted him he denied everything but I know something's going on through that app. The whole disappearing messages thing makes it impossible to know what he's involved in. Does anybody have experience with tools or methods to see someone's Instagram messages? Not trying to be overbearing but clearly the trust based approach isn't working anymore. Would really value some guidance from other parents who've dealt with similar situations.
