I don't see how you can require yours kids' friends to do anything. How would you even know? That's just dumb. Why not just require everyone in the 6 degrees of separation of your kids to give you open access.... that would include just about everyone.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Simple, tell your kids to act like young adults on line, and your kids can talk to my kids on line... period. Hey, no kids are perfect, but my kids are required to act like aspiring professionals when in open forums.. No cussing, no rude jokes, no teasing or taunting... Well except for Crew and Skyler, but they are big boys, they can take it;) And yes, my kid hangs out with kids who don't mind if I see what they write.. They are pretty good kids, maybe geeks, but they refer to themseoves as "intellectual badasses"... :) |

Seeing what other people are writing is pretty easy if you have access to your kids' account. Why would you need access to other parents' kids' accounts? |

Seeing what other people are writing is pretty easy if you have access to your kids' account. Why would you need access to other parents' kids' accounts? I don't have the details but there is a news story on tonight's news about some web based tracking software that will crawl all over your kid's facebook posts and send you a summary of every page they are involved with. I guess we are teaching them about Big Brother early. I don't see a problem with parents being concerned and engaged. That seems a bit much, but if the child is difficult or has had a change in behavior, etc., then it might be justified. If this were done with adults by other adults, that's a different, and perhaps legal, issue. |

That is why I resist back doors into telecommunication systems. I don't think a lot of regular people embrace it... |
