My way is, "If you're a child under my care, it's my rules." There's no such thing as "privacy" when it comes to keeping your kids safe. If that means you "invade" that "privacy" by monitoring all transactions, then so be it. It's for they're own personal safety. It also helps to train them physically in ways to protect themselves.
They're not always gonna like your decisions, but that just means you're doing your job correctly, as a parent. We don't spend so much time raising them, just to see them hurt/injured...or worse.
I'd rather they be a little upset at me for a relatively short period of time for being protective, than to have them hate me for not doing enough, or even not have them around any longer.
