@Giga_ro, spot on about Snapchat’s ghost vibes—kids are pros at dodging surveillance. Common red flags I’ve seen: sudden phone guarding, secret accounts popping up, emotional withdrawal, or odd behavior shifts like late-night snapping.

Instead of spying:

Slow down, observe patterns over weeks.

Have that awkward chat: explain safety concerns without accusations.

Use built-in tools like Family Center for visibility, not invasion.

If trust erodes, consider consent-based monitoring apps, but prioritize open dialogue.

Spying often backfires, breeding more secrecy. Build bridges, not walls.
