IPOD help needed pls...my kid is too sneaky for me

I do not allow texting on her ipod.  Well she has found a way to do it and hide the app from me finding it.  Now I hear her talking on it and when I go in there she mashes some things and fights with me to buy her time to close it out before I can get it.  I am assuming its skype or she activated the phone app somehow.  Help me find these apps and be able to know how to find her forbidden crap.  I cannot trust her AT ALL.  She has been communicating with 17 yr old boys and inappropriate things on facebook....it goes on and on.  I told her music and games only on IPOD but she can't even be satisfied with that.  At whits end. Please help!

I have no clue. I would take it away for her doing it if it were my child.

The easiest way to disable the apps is to take the iPod away from her. Clearly she is not following the rules so let her have some time without it.

I created my son's app account, and he does not know the password. So he cannot download any apps onto is iPod without asking for our help.

That ipod would be mine gor a good long time! Last time my 12 year old broke the password and was accessing stuff without permission I had his for 4 weeks. Poor him, he hasn't done it since :D

Yeah, either take it away from her or change the password on your iTunes account so she can't download any other apps.  Make sure you make the password something she will NEVER figure out.

You could take the app store and put a password on it so she will be unable to download any new apps or make any in app purchases if she needs an app you would need to put in the passcode and do it for her it's a good way of monitoring what she has another thing she may have apps in app folders so if your just looking at the screen you don't see it right away but if you open folders on the screen it could be in there unless she is really slick and deleting the app all together and just re installing it when she needs to use which is where the passcode on the app store comes in handy for you..

If you don't trust her and she is being deceitful TAKE IT AWAY FROM HER.  You are the Mom, she is the child.  Period.

If she's talking, it might be FaceTime which is similar to Skype. My kids know more about electronics than I do :(
If my kids did that, I'd take the iPod from them.
