When it comes to your kids and Facebook, how closely are you watching their activity? That's the topic of a new survey with interesting results. More than 50 per cent of the Canadian parents surveyed admitted they secretly access their teenager's Facebook account. According to a survey conducted in 11 countries by security company AVG, the global average of snooping parents was 44 per cent. Still, Canadian parents were less likely to spy on their teens than those in the U.S. and Spain, where 61 per cent admitted to secretly monitoring Facebook. The study also found mothers were more likely than fathers to checking up on the accounts. About 49 per cent of moms admitted to doing so, compared to 39 per cent of dads. And when it comes to on-line social activity, Canadian parents were second most likely to be Facebook friends with their teens. About 66 per cent said their kids had accepted their friend request, compared to 72 per cent in the U.S. and just 32 per cent in France and 10 per cent in Japan.
