...until they are in college. Kids computers belong in the family room period. They have no right to keep secrets until then (and not really then either). That simple manuever could save hundreds of kids from predators every month. Computers are like TV cameras. Would you place an open access TV camera in your kids' rooms?
If they say "you don't trust me', counter with 'this is my house and while you are under my roof those are the rules'. Tell them this is not about trust but about right and wrong. You need to realize that the more they complain the more they have other motives.
Trust is not enough. Sometimes we need to be pro-active.
Yeah, several of you won't agree, but what if your kid then becomes 'the one'?
