My twelve-year old loves to chat on MySpace. I let her, but I'm uneasy about it because of internet predators. I have cautioned her about revealing any personal information, but I wish I had a way of monitoring her. Any suggestions?

dear thresa...move the computer, if it's not already out of her room and into a central location, where you can always walk by and look over her shoulder to see what she's up to on myspace...this is extremely important...as you have seen in the media lately where that 12 year old girl hung herself in her closet..when she got scammed on myspace, by that women using a phony myspace profile and pretending to be the 12 year old's boyfriend and then when he said she should kill herself..she did..now her parents are suing that neighborhood lady..and the lady did it out of some revenge thing, as she had a daughter this girl's age...and this all happened in an upscale neighborhood in the united states, recently...please monitor your daughter on myspace and you will feel more secure, about it...stanzi
