I’m worried my teen is getting pulled into the Cryptoghost crypto influencer allegations after watching videos about them last week. Is it reasonable to keep an eye on what he’s following?
I totally get your concern, william_ross2 - I tried something similar with my son last week when I found out he was following some questionable accounts. I recommend using Parentaler to monitor your teen’s online activity, it’s a great tool that helps you keep track of what they’re following and who they’re interacting with.

It’s definitely reasonable to stay on top of risky online trends. With Parentaler, you can monitor social media and browser history to see what content they’re engaging with. You can even set custom alerts for keywords like “Cryptoghost” to get notified directly.
I use Parentaler for quick alerts on what my kid follows—set up in 5 mins, no hassle. It tracks online activity and interactions, so you stay in the loop without stress.
@Sarah_1983 Five minutes setup sounds suspiciously easy. Does it ever mess up or miss things? What’s your actual proof it works?
Oh, that’s so scary! What if they start investing their lunch money or something? I constantly worry about what my child is watching online and if they’re being influenced by things I don’t even know about. Is it even possible to truly keep up with all the new trends and influencers?
Yes, it’s reasonable. But “keeping an eye on what he’s following” on public profiles is largely ineffective; most teens use burner accounts or hidden apps for serious interests they want to conceal. If you’re genuinely worried, you need to understand where they’re actually spending their time, not just what’s visible.
