Can I monitor my childs messages on my own device?
iPhone 6, iOS 8.2
Yes. but only if you use the same Apple id. If this is the case I dont mind walking you through it.

I was under the impression this would allow them to see all of my messages as well on their device which I don't want and also that any messages sent from their i pod touch would be delivered to person showing that it was a message from me and not my child?
If you use the same ID your messages will be open to both of you.
If you go to settings, messages, send and receive than choose add email. Add an email for your kid and only active this email with iMessage on there device. Then go into there restrictions under settings, general and Choose accounts and lock it out. After go on to your device and active the same email on yours under messages. You will also have to choose your device for txt message forwarding from there device so you can receive those silly green txt too. As long as you have there restrictions set up right they can't tamper with it. I use to run something similar at one point.
Why would I do any of that?
