i just wanna know if it is legal for a parent to read their kids e mail, if the kid is under 18 of course.
IF they do read it, is it possible for them to use any of the information they may find against anyone??

good question. try http://www.privacyplace.com.

I think you are okay in reading your kids' email. I don't think a court would see anything wrong with that, as long as you WERE NOT doing it simply to snoop for snooping's sake.

As to your inquiry about using the information against anyone, I think it would depend on the circumstances.
