The story is, ¨The Undercover Parent,¨ by Harlan Coben published on an article online news webpage on March 16, 2008. The thesis statement of the article is, ¨If you put spyware on your computer, you have the ability to log every keystroke your child makes and thus a good portion of his or her private world.¨ The author starts the article by telling a story then he starts giving his opinion. The author wants to persuade the audience to use spyware on their kids. I agree and disagree with using spyware on your kids. I agree with using spyware for multiple reasons. One reason I agree with spyware is because as a parent you are going to want to know what your child is doing. You are also going to want to know who your kid is talking to.
