no its legal

Answer 2

OK thats like me reading my moms mail just because we live in the same house.   It is strictly illegal to open up ANY mail without your name on it whether its your childs or whoever!  

Its all about Respecting your privacy!

A parent or legal guardian can open mail with or without your permission until you are emancipated or of legal age.
