Parents who have full access to their kid's Facebook account?

There's not even a door in my computer/homework/massage chair room. It's like an extension of the living room so the whole room looks big.

Back to the OP- The bolded part the Korean guy? HUGE red flags there. He's shopping for victims.

The second bolded part? You don't trust your parents to not "go super protecto" on you - so why should they trust you?

As far as the friend not responding, maybe she doesn't want to and is using parents as the excuse? Perhaps she is grounded and doesn't want to admit to it? Embarrassing, ya know. Maybe just let her be, if she really wants, she will find a way. And probably get in trouble again. Don't make it harder.

You're coming off kind of rude

I haven't even told my parents about the messages Liz's mother sent me. If my mom found out she would raise hell with Liz's mom and that might cost our friendship. Why should they trust me? Because they care and love me and my mom knows I am smart enough to avoid creepers. Kaname Kuran is not a creeper, when Liz told me that her mom booted him off I HAD to check him out, if he was bad I would have reported him. You always have to see both sides in a situation. I'm in the midst of Liz's and mine and something is not right. Liz is telling me her mother wasn't online last night at all.
I trust my parents with my life, thank you very much. But if something happened like in the case of that guy from school and my parents started snooping my Facebook night and day, I would feel uncomfortable. I know my parents and my mother has told me "if anything ever happens you tell me first" and I obey that rule.

Do you realize how much info you just gave out about this kid to a board full of strangers? anther 2 minutes after finding him we could figure out which "liz" and prob. who you are too. Sidenote: Kaname Kuran isn't an atuial name, it's from an anime, which doesn't look promising in itself.

This is why parents expect to monitor, because you just gave out too much.

WRONG-O! I can see everything my kids type, what sites they were on, and for how long. It is delivered right to my laptop anytime I want it.

It cost about $500, but worth every penny.

My house, my rules. When you're 18 - you're on your own...no more training wheels.

Sadina, I agree...too much info given out. Kind of making our point, into it?

(I am replying way too many times

)
Also, concerning internet safety, has anyone ever noticed that alot of (young) girls post pictures of themselves wearing skimpy clothing? I know it was summer and during summer ya wear cooler clothes... But some of the things girls post, well, they're just asking for a creeper to bother them.
So, here is my parent paranoia even though I am not a parent, not a parent of humans anyways. ~In the future~ I would be shocked if a bunch of boys were commenting on a bathing suit photo of a child of mine, innapropriate comments especially. Even if the nice ones were just saying "o your so gorgeous" you know that they are staring! I would kindly ask her to remove it because I believe not every boy on the web should know what her body looks like. I would tell her that it makes me uncomfortable, and if she didn't comply I would go on and remove the photo myself.
And the case of the dummy accounts come in! (Say she had a few) If my daughter wanted to show off her body show much I would be

and

I would ground her from computer, laptop, and cellphone (if she had all these things).
Itty bitty shorts don't even exist in the house I live in. Mother and I cringe at them, both in the store and on people.

I must be the bad parent; I allowed my Kids unfettered access online to whatever it was kids do now-a-days. I did caution them about firewalls and virus protection plus not to be stupid about personal information given out. I figured that any attempt to curtail them would only lead to them circumventing me anyway------after all, my kids are much smarter then me. Also, my kids were very good at helping me learn what's what about computers/internet. Of course they were embarrassed to list me as a friend on social networking sites like facebook----my daughter was so irritated when facebook expanded from college only to everyone invited. So, I do my best to keep my kids rolling their eyes at things I say and do on facebook.

Yes Kaname Kuran is the vampire guy from Vampire Knight who in the end is related to Yuki Cross so therefore their relationship that all the fangirls wanted is a no-no. Another reason my friend added him, because she is obsessed with Vampire Knight.

Many of the kids here think adding a parent is lame. I have some parents and teachers added. There's really no difference. I mean it's no different from adding a peer, they see everything so what's to hide? Teachers can contact my parents if they saw something bad that I put. So can other parents.

I can't believe how many of you are upset about the bedroom door thing--it is kinda funny--we live in two old log houses from the 1800's that we moved here to our farm and stood back up-there were two bedrooms in each one upstairs-and you had to walk thru one to get to the other and the one had 12 kids raised in it and an aunt and uncle lived with them--can you imagine the privacy issues???? Kids nowdays have no clue how lucky they are-other countries think we are a sinful ,spoiled country and on alot of accounts they are right. Have we forgotten our history and where we came from --this internet thing and cell phones are such a luxury and privilege--but they do come with a price as do alot of things we THINK we really need but don't. As far as the door thing we have been in this house 7 years and still haven't hung the bedroom doors---the kids have grown but we have company as much as a B&B and no one seems to mind. I have friends who took it a step further and took the doors off and the light bulbs out of their daughters room after reminding her to turn off the light when she walked out a hundred times over. We are parents and it is our job to protect our kids -who else is gonna do it???? When they leave home they will have plenty of years for privacy---we are just short term invasion---LOL

Missouri is trying to pass a law making it illegal for teachers to have students as social networking friends------Hah! As if that would stop any misbehavior. At least if it's on a social networking site, it can be used in computer forensics after the fact.
