Maddie's dad let her set up a myspace over the weekend. Moron.

I agree with letting them know that you are looking and on the lookout for stuff like this. Not that you can stop them but at least making them aware you're looking.

I monitor Maddie's phone and text messages. I also have her phone set to upload her address book daily so I can see who's she's got in there. She's 12 and hasn't quite started to rebell yet but I want to lay the groundwork now so she knows I'm looking. She is also under the mistaken impression, which I may not have bothered to correct, that I can actually go online and read her text messages.

Also we have laptops which makes it easier to restrict access. Just unplug them and take them with me. She does have internet on her phone but that can easily be cut if I find an issue.
