this. your test proved nothing. it only proved he is smart enough to not fall for your tricks. he obviously knew you were watching him, so of course he isnt going to handle the firearm. it proves nothing about what he will do when you actually arent around (at a friends house, school, whatever your other examples were) on a side note - if you keep spying on your kid, once theyre a teenager you will have problems on your hands. if my parents spied on me and set up hidden cameras and shit all over, it would have been a miserable time at home for all involved, and i would have been out of the house as soon as i was able to (and i dont necessarily mean 18) without trying to slam you or make jokes or anything, i seriously think you have a problem. if it was just this incident, sure, whatever...chalk it up to parenting methods. but you video tape and record every second of your life, and spying on your own family is just too far
