All of my kids have myspace pages.. and they mostly have fun with their friends and each other, but the younger ones know I monitor it like a hawk and I made those two provide me passwords to their accts so that I could keep track of what was going on. I don't USE it often, in fact I think only one time I have used that access, BUT them knowing I have it makes them a lot more cautious knowing I do..... I ALSO keep a close eye on their "friends" pages, if I go to one and they have nudity or anything on their pages, they are removed from them, luckily this hasn't ever happened, but they know I'll do it.

Some people around here say I am a hardass or that I am too "in their faces" but to me, it is my JOB as their parent to monitor them and TEACH them the dangers of being open to the world. This is something that WE never were faced with, so parents need to be "in the know" of the dangers and monitor that shit. If MY "getting in their business" keeps them from getting hurt then I have done my job.

My oldest daughter, she has had myspace since it opened I think, while she is 25 now, when she was younger, she put a much older age on hers, she said, because the perverts were bugging her and once her gang did that, they stopped it right away. They do HUNT down those 19-19 year olds, and younger.
