Unfortunately I have to block my teens usage for two weeks as punishment, all voice/text/data except trusted users. 

Two questions. 

     1.) Can she link up to a wifi and text?

     2.) If she can text via wifi  will the text usage shop up on my manage users account in verizon?

There are messaging apps available which would not show up in your MyVerizon account that use data. If she is on wifi then she would be able to message without any way for you to monitor without actually having her phone.

You can also change your wifi password so she can't access it that way...That is what I would do...

You can also take the phone away for two weeks.
