According to the news of the International Business Times, after the decision, these rights were won by the divorced father of two children. The court said in the verdict that with the development of social network to save children from any kind of losses, there is also a need for parents to monitor and monitor for WhatsApp.

This divorced father was facing allegations of violating privacy because of reading his daughter's WhatsApp chat. The case was moved by his ex-wife. It was further reported in the report that in the Northern Spanish city of Pontevedra, a court ruled on December 26, which said that the use of social network by minors 'requires parental attention and caution'.

This is a crime which can be imprisoned for four years and may also be fined. But the judges of Pontevedra Court ruled that both the parents have the right to monitor children.
