Hello. My daughter, who is 12, asked me today could she have a myspace page. I told her i would think about it and if so, I would have to have full access. I try to raise her like my mom did me and give me a little rope and if i hung myself...i hung myself. i did pretty good and didnt have my first child until i was 23. I dont know. Does any of your kids have myspace pages and if so, what are the ages.

I think that it depends more on if you are really going to monitor her page or not.
You should write up an agreement with her, it is a site with adults after all, that states that you have the authority to have her change or edit anything on her page that might be to revealing or dangerous. (kids just do not understand the risk) I would also insist that it be a private page.
I do not have a page so I cannot give more adive to the web site, but I will say that this is a good time for you to assert the fact that you are the parent. If you feel that something is not right then tell he no.
IF you are willing to sign into her page everyday and check on her site and that of her friends, then do it. Do NOT feel guilty about it either, her safty means more than her privacy.
Have a great day!!

My (recently) ex-b/f's daughter has had a myspace page for several years now, since she was about your daughter's age. The stipulation was that her dad, and me were to be on her friends list at all times. She deleted me once lol because I informed her dad of something she had posted (she was mad at him lol). It was no big thing, she deleted her post, added me back on. As long as you have access to it, it's really no big deal. One other stipulation was that it be set to private, only her friends on her list could see her profile or comment on it. That way not just anybody could send her a friend request or look at her profile. And even though her dad and I have split, she and I still are friends through myspace.

mine nt yet because they are 7 and 9 and no way i would let them touch the computer they have already broke it once and i had to ship it off so not again... i think it all depends on the childs maturity to whether they are ready or not
