Myspace
My husband has two boys, 9 and 10 and I have an 11 year old boy.Our family is great, other than the arguing between boys which is normal.
My youngest SS wanted a myspace. My husband set it up, but told him that he was going to know the password and user name so he could monitor it. SS was okay with that.
My husband was looking on it one day and found that my SS step sister who is 18 (that the mom has never raised, lives with their grandmother) was sending bullitins that had stuff about "girl died having sex", "lets get drunk". So my husband called the mother and told her about it. Of course, she denied everything. WE had noticed that activity on his myspace had stopped. We asked my SS if he had another one, he said no. That was about a month ago.
Two weeks ago I was on myspace and found new ones for him and also my 10 year old SS. Mom evidently has set them up and told the boys not to tell their dad. What do y'all suggest that we do? I know myself what our plans are just wanted another opionion.
Report it!
You can report it. There is a link at the bottom of MySpace pages that you can Contact MySpace - Suject: Reporting Abuse - Subtopic: Report Underage User.
OR
Read it if you can. My SS has a *public* MySpace account. This is sometimes the only link we have to know what is going on with him. I am disturbed by what I see on his page, BUT I'm afraid it's going to get worse too. There is a picture and insinuation of drug use - not proof, but evidence that he may be using. At least this way, we know a little of what's going on with him. We can watch out for him better now that we know what we're looking for.
Myspace
Their page is set to private. Oh and to top it all off, she has one and her profile pic is of her holding a Corona. Nice....
That's the whole thing, she knowingly set it up and now they are keeping it from their dad that they even have one. They don't know that we know, at least not yet.....
It's not the size of the dog, it's the size of the bark in the dog.
That's way to young..
That is way to young for them to have MY SPACE accounts...In my book, allowing children to have MY SPACE accounts is just asking for trouble. Their are tons of perverts and inappropriate bullitins and items on my space, to include pornographic images..
My daughter is 15 and she isn't allowed to have a my space...If I was DH I would report it to MY SPACE administrations and they will delet the accounts. Legally, a person has to be 14 to have a MY SPACE account.
