The article below reminds me of a situation that occurred with one of my daughters. One didn't have a problem giving me her information to log on to her page, but the other did. After reading this article it confirmed my suspicions that she might be either embarrassed of the things I may see or portraying herself to be someone she's not.

ldavis's wife said...
I am glad to see that ldavis shows interest in the social development of his children, and I agree with his thoughts on social networking sites. It can be dangerous, and parents should get more inolved when possible.

I believe that parents have a right to know what their children are doing (all the time) especially if they are young. I don't have a problem with the mother wanting to know what her daughter was saying and I believe that ldavis should know what is his children are doing and who they might be attracting.
I think that social networking is great... with moderation. Only when you use the internet responsibly is it safe.
I am very skeptical about the benefits of the internet to children,so it would be better to pay close attention to controll it.
I think it is very important to controll the access to children to protect theire exposition to dangerous ideologies and immages.
While i am not yet a parent, i do see the need for web site access supervision.
I agree with what Sam said, it impotant to let them know about the danger on the Internet.
