30 Moments When Parents On Twitter Realized Their Kids Were Criminal Masterminds
Whether we like it or not, times are changing faster than we'd probably like them to. While we, adults, can easily remember the times when we had no phones or the internet, for kids these days, technologies are an integral part of their everyday lives. And probably, it's for the best to finally admit that children today can easily outsmart us when it comes to using various gadgets. Heck, I've known kids who couldn't read or write yet, but would easily find the clips they wanted on YouTube! If that doesn't tell you something, I don't know what will.
Speaking about kids, recently, one Twitter thread blew up. In it, a concerned father shared a humorous story of how his young daughter hacked their Netflix parental code. Astounded by her ingenious creativity, other people started sharing little anecdotes from their lives with children as well. Parents, listen up—as it appears, there's a good 99.99% chance that your kid also knows some sly techniques that you haven't even thought about. They're actually masterminds. They can open locks with hair clips. It's scary. Don't underestimate your kid's hacking and social engineering skills either, because this viral thread on Twitter proves just how oblivious adults can be. Scroll down below to read 45 stories other parents shared about their hacker and criminal mastermind kids on Twitter and don't forget to tell us in the comments down below whether you have such a story!

Parenting done right. Please make sure her ingenuity is nurtured so she becomes unique. And not mundane as the filth of humans that r bound to surround her . Make sure she is not boring like them. Nothing is worse than a wasted potential

I simply forged the first excuse my mom wrote for me in one school ... so the teachers got used to the autograph I did. Just had to redo every legit excuse to keep it going, but it went. Actually, in THAT school, I finally reached the status of getting away with everything, but that required more...

A lot of parents seem to be particularly unbothered by the fact that their children are able to log in their personal spaces, including bank accounts. I definitely wouldn't.

In my family we know each other's password to everything and it's never been a problem. We just trust each other and respect boundaries.

I'm baffled at the lack of trust and deceit in these families. I gave my kid a credit card linked to my account when he was 8, and he's never abused it. He's nearly 16 and still calls to ask permission to buy stuff.

Waaaay back in the day, at a time where MAC OS 7.5 was the hottest OS on the planet, there was a little amusement program called "Grouch" basically every time you put something in the bin the grouch would come and sing "I love trash" or "I love it because it´s trash!..." And my infant daughter loved it. So did I until one day came home from work to an empty computer and a very happy daughter who had figured out how to switch the mac on and use a mouse.
