From my POV, the question is whether a parent has the right to listen to a minor child's conversation in the family's home. That is distinct from whether a caller to the home has an expectation of privacy in a call to a member of the household and whether that conversation can be used against him in Court. Upon reflection, under my state's laws, I can see and appreciate the defendant's position and the rationale of the Court. From the POV of a parent, I will damn well listen into my minor daughter's conversations if I so choose I (I have not seen the need to do so yet).
