re: I’d like to record my sons fortnite chats. Tell me how

It’s pretty simple.
You can listen in on your kid and know everything he’s talking about. But if you ever hear something and react to that, your kid will know you’ve been spying on him. Which would probably create some trust issues. If he’s only 10 years old, I highly doubt he’s doing or saying anything very controversial.

Let’s keep this going....I’m not giving you knuckleheads any context. I got my answer. Gracias mi amigos

Since the OP meantioned "keeping him on his toes", I'd say he's just spying on him. But I'd be more worried about my kid getting into a conversation with someone he shouldn't be, being tricked into giving out personal info or whatever.
I'll tell my kids to play like I did: unless it's a person you actually know, stay away from chat.

You sound crazy and irrational.
If you gave just a little more context you would have received more and better options with the replies.
Leaving all context out left you with nearly nothing.

I wasn't defending anything. He gave us no info to defend or critique.
My solution is to not put my kids into a situation where I feel like I'd have to monitor chat. And in not talking about a 16 or 17 year old who's a little more capable of being responsible and has a social life.

These aren't the chat sites that were popular when we were kids. It's Fortnite. You don't just sit in chat with random arse people and chill out talking about life. You spend the entire time shooting people and trying not to get shot, then when you do get shot, you start a game with different people. Nowhere near the same animal.
No matter how you slice it, it's invasive and as is obviously noticeable by the responses from this thread, a bit of an overstep to most people. If you're having to fear-monger your child on the internet, you're doing it wrong. Calling bad parenting bad parenting isn't an overreaction.

Or, you know, it's being a responsible parent. It's funny because the ones that just let their kids do anything and have no clue what stuff they are doing have been shite on this board plenty before.
As long as my kids live in my house, they can expect a "certain" level of privacy, but trust is earned. Our daughter has been caught taking food from the kitchen and hiding it in her room (mainly junk food). So I tell her "I'm not going to read your diary, but you can expect that your room will be inspected for hidden food and candy wrappers".
10 years old? Like hell would I just allow him have at any online game and not keep an eye on it.

True, but I'm not going to go by your definition of "bad parenting", and

Idt anyone is disagreeing with you here Sic.
Monitoring and Spying are not the same thing. Even though our government thinks otherwise.
Maybe we should define them here.
Edt: receiving whole transcripts are your child's conversations without real cause is spying. Put a tape recorder on him then.
Something's kids should kept from their parents. It's part of growing and forming an identity.

You want to talk about the parents that don't do enough monitoring, there are just as many stories of kids going nuts because their parents did too much monitoring.

So if his kid had been busted bullying and/or kicking the arse of some kid, and it was some kid he knew he played fortnite with, is that an overreaction?
Before you answer that, it could have happened. We don't know.

It's his fortnite chat. He didn't ask about planting bugs, cameras, and the best place to buy an ankle monitor.

We are all in agreement. I think.
Just read the last two pages again.

A rational solution would be turning the chat option off unless the child says he's wanting to squad up with friends, then dad can see who they are and know who he's playing with beforehand without having to go Big Brother on his 10 year old and listen to everything he says.
Personally, I'd still be steering my son towards single-player at age 10.
