I don't know if parents monitoring children's device usage is the right approach either. Kids, LGBT kids for example, should be able to have some privacy.

Parental controls are basically the only option here.

This is a bit of a different issue. This as more to do parents not feeling that being part of this group is normal or acceptable. Kids need privacy on devices to an extent, but should be closely checked if there are any red flags on groomers, scammers or similar encroaching in the kid's life
