Invasion

In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Hamlet kills his ex-girlfriends father as he was spying on him and his mom. Hamlet's attention was to kill Claudius not him. Polonius invaded Hamlets space by reading his love note, which every one reads their children's texts or notes. It is OK to go through your children's texts only if your suspicious of their activities. Depending of the time of this action is a big factor. If you do it out of spite or randomness it is wrong. I would only check through my children's personal items if i was worried they could possible be injured or in trouble. To check through others things is ok only if you know when too.
