RE: I think I lost my rights as a parent
If your kid's smart phone is on your plan, then you hold all the power. Just text him and tell him if he doesn't say yes, you'll cut him off... problem solved.
Sad, but true.

My wife and I discussed that many times over different problems we've had with him and we concluded that if we cut it off we've got nothing on him any more.

When my daughter started college, at orientation, the speaker said that I was prohibited by law from seeing her grades without her written permission.
I looked at her and said, "Did you hear that? I'm prohibited by law from seeing your grades without your written permission. You want to write it now or wait til this is over?"
If she entertained any thought of not letting me see her grades, it was a brief one and she kept it to herself.

It was an easy decision for you, if she didn't want you to see her grades I'm sure you wouldn't let her see your money. LOL
