The law is ironic in the communist nation where Internet and cell phone privacy is not guaranteed anyway and billions of text messages and web searches are monitored and censored daily in the name of state security and curbing pornography.
Details of the rule and penalties for breaking it were not released, but Chinese media reports indicates that children could turn to the police if their parents pry into their privacy.
The Chongqing Evening Post reported that the Chongqing legislature adopted the law last Friday.
A China Daily report said it would be effective from September and parents would be " forbidden" from secretly investigating children's Internet and cell phone communication.
