Whatever happened to policing what your children do and see?

Question

I am on a rampage aginst MySpace.com at the moment. I am also on a rampage aginst parents who don't supervise their children and punish them when they need to be. I don't think there is a problem with the existance of MySpace.com, but I have a problem with the blatant allowance of underage children using MySpace. Young children have created MySpace accounts by lying about their age. Where are the parents? Why do they allow this to happen. I have looked at MySpace when I found my 12 year old's account (and took it away from her!!!) I found most of the site to be harmless enough, but I have a problem with parents telling thier children that it's okay to lie if they don't agree with the rules. (you have to be 16 to be on MySpace and there is a reason. MySpace doesn't police thier site, its use at your own risk). My openion is that MySpace is a simptom of the larger problem of parents wanting to be friends with their children instead of disciplining if necessary. Any Thoughts

Answer 1

I am only 16 years old and I agree with you.
