Ethical? What Would You Do?

Say someone gave you permission to use their email/computer to send an email and left the room. While there you see an interesting email and read it.

That email eludes to the person being involved in an extramarital affair. You read another that confirms it without a doubt.

The reader is the daughter.

Should she have read the emails?

Should she approach her mother?

What would you do?

The daughter should not have read the e-mails.
Since she did read the e-mails - she should give her mother the benefit of the doubt and pray for her. Many times things are not exactly as they seem.


What would I do? Nothing except pray and let it go. It is between the parents and the children could get caught in the crossfire.

Blessings, Rhoni

Maybe Mom wanted to get caught....why would she leave the email around?

Re: Ethical? What Would You Do?

What's wrong with honesty?

This is strictly MHO okay, but couldn't the daughter just say, mom I accidentally read this email and just wanted you to know.

Speaking as a mother with a sharp mind...I would never let my daughter or any family member use my e-mail address if I had anything to hide. With that said, what daughter thinks she knows...she really doesn't know. Everyone has a right to their privacy, even mothers.

It isn't an accident when you read another's e-mail.

I don't think it was accidental.......it was discovered while snooping.......but as the Word says "Be sure your sins will find you out".........

I think a discussion needs to take place.....it might just bring a soul to repentance........

Or open a can of worms

BTW - Haven't you ever heard: 2 wrongs do NOT make a RIGHT?

Just pure-n-tee gossip and trouble making if you tell things you read while violating another's privacy.
