I guarantee that my mom would have used one of these kits had she been more tech savvy and if this had actually been around when I was growing up. Parents do crazy things these days because the technology is there. It’s way too Big Brother for me and I don’t like it. The teddy bears with video cameras is enough, but tapping your kid’s phones is down right insane. Of course, the Telephone Bug Kit works either way, but I don’t know why some kid would want to listen to their parents phone conversations. It’s only $8.

Dude…I bought one of those eight years ago. I thought you reported on new technology. C’mon guys. Seriously.
Where can I obtain one of the k-35 kits?
As a child I was victimized by my father,a wire tap was his weapon, spanning from age 16, to my mid 20’s.
Holidays weren’t the same, as he would “guess” what my gift to him was before opening, and he was always right, even when I went to great lengths to disguise it.
More disturbingly…
In my mid 20’s he would have been listing to private conversations between me and a boyfriend. The topic of which was sexual in nature at some times.
As an adult, I spent a year on the couch working thru various issues I had as a result of his invasive actions, and other less than healthy parenting tactics.
I believe his actions were the result of lack of trust for himself. And in the end, he lost my trust. We no longer speak.
He could have gained all the intelligence he desired by fostering a supportive and open environment for conversation.
