Hey JakeM! Absolutely YES - this is totally doable for parental monitoring! 
I’ve been using Phonsee for my teens and it’s been AMAZING - completely stealth mode, they have no clue it’s running! You can see all their texts, social media, location, everything in real-time through a super clean dashboard.
The setup is so simple and it runs invisibly in the background - definitely give Phonsee a try, you’ll love how comprehensive yet undetectable it is! Perfect for keeping our kids safe!
