My niece keeps invading my privacy!
I have tried talking to my mom about this problem before and my mom understands my concerns because all of my niece's friends are boys and I don't want a 15 or 16 year old boy seeing me naked. My mom has talked to my niece numerous times . She has custody of my niece also . My mom has taken the phone on many occasions and nothing seems to work.

If I were your mom I would call the carrier and have the service suspended. I would tell your niece the service will remain suspended until she is able to follow the rules which include giving your your privacy when you ask for it.
Your niece is a minor and is only entitled to those privileges the adults allow her to have. A cell phone is a privilege one which requires her to know how to use and respect others privacy. Since she cannot or will not respect your privacy she is abusing the privilege and the phone is turned off.
The first time you mom suspends service with the carrier for thirty days and the phone will come back on the morning of the 31st day. If the service needs to be interrupted again mom does so for 60 days. If there is need to do it a third time mom turns the phone off completely an does not reinstate service until your niece can pay the fees to do so or turns 18 and can sign the service contract herself.
Suggest this ti your mother and have her tell your niece if she doesn't cooperate and respect your privacy this will happen. The threat alone should be enough but is it isn't mom must carry through with the threat or she will be seen as nothing more than a paper tiger. It is in her nieces best interest that some tough love be handed out to your niece who must be her granddaughter..
