I agree with you about the whole not-sure-about-myspace stuff.
A lot of perverts roam around that website.
Ask her about it. If she won't let you look, find out for yourself. You're a parent and deserve to know.
Type her name in the search menu if you don't know her website.

She needs to be careful with myspace. A lot of people give out way too much information about themselves, and EVERYONE can see it. It doesn't matter if it's a private profile. There are a lot of people who can still hack through it and find out. That's where stalkers lurk.

First you should know the password to the myspace. If you don't have it, then ask for it. If your child doesn't give it to you, then you have bigger problems.
You can go to the myspace site, and try to find your daughter's information, but if it is set to private you will not see much.
***NO child should have a computer in their own bedroom, the computer should be out in the family area so that they can be monitored.
!!!! make no mistake, children will test the boundaries, and unless you are watching them, they are putting themselves in danger.
#### you wouldn't leave them alone with a pedophile, would you? No, that would be insane right? But when parents allow their child free access to the computer, that is exactly what is being done. There are millions and millions of sick people out there just looking for the opportunity to prey on the ignorant and naive. The best and most likely targets are children left unattended online.
** I am glad that you are going to check your daughter's myspace. You should be checking her system daily to see what is going on. You should also know all the passwords, so that you can thoroughly check it all.

just casualy ask 4 her password and check it out with her, if u notice things that might be dangerous calmly nad lovingly explain how deadly it is. u could try reading her a story or something. if she refuses to give u her password, u could ask her things like " what do u have 2 hide?" if that doesn't work u could go on the home page and click "forgot my password" button while she is @ school. it will e-mail it 2 what ever e-mail she regestered in. i don't go on myspace. but i no that it is pretty bad cause my mom went on my sister's myspace and they were grounded from the computer 4 a year and finally my older sister is allowed back on because my mom trusts her now. she nos what she is not allowed 2 do. my mom checks her myspace all the time. my sister has nothing 2 hide from my mom. if ur daughter has nothing 2 hide she will fill cofortable giving u her passwords. if not u might want 2 try making her more cofortable with u. good luck! -fairygal

Most kids are kind of silly about myspace. So make a myspace for yourself that never says who you are. Be silly like a teenager and then send out a couple dozen friend requests. Most of those, if not all will add you. Then you send her a freind request and when she adds you, you can see everything on her site except her email and Immediate Messages. This works even if she has it set to private.
I do this with my kids. They know I check on their space, but they don't know my method. I also follow the links and get a lot of their most influential friends. If you are creative you can even give parental input without them knowing which parent sent it.
Be sure to create an emaill account that you use for nothing else first.

hey lol i am a teenager im only 17 but my relationship wit my parents is very open. i can talk to them about anything. this is beacuse i finally relized that ma parents belive it or not did alot of the stuff i do. and ma parents trust me enough not to priy in to my business.
so basically wat im tryin to say is give ur daughter the benefint of the doubt. show her that you trust her and that ur not sneakin behind her bak.
if she asks u to go to a party or sumthing ask her many many questions and give her a limit. if she sasy she isnt going to drink there or if she promise to be bak by 10 then belive her.
if she doesnt follow up wit her promises den tell her that you werent going soft on her but that u were testing her. N she'll relize shoot i made a mistake. then tall her that is y u are hard on her.
ok now about the mysapce i really wouldnt recomand u you try to get on her myspace.
y dont u make 2 ACCOUNTS one as a teenage boy about 1-3 yrs older den her and an other as a girl about 1-3 years older den her
get a picture from google images and make sure she wont noe were u got that pic and display that has u ' you as the boy' then talk to her
on ur myspace start of slow like hey was ur name were do u live america or canada oo ok i leave... do u ahve any sisters or bros oo u do . u have 1 big sis and lil bro...
jus go on
gain her trust then about 2 months or so that you are talkin then ask her some stuff that u are suspicouse of like do u drink at parties ....
but if u find some shocking news DO NOT TELL HER THAT YOU KNOW!! LET HER TO YOU WHEN SHE IS READY BEACUSE IF U SAY I AM 'BRAIN' SHE''LL GET SO PISSED OF THAT THE MINUT SHE TURNS 18 SHE MIGHT RESIST YOU MORE AND NOT LISTEN AS MUCH WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUSE FOR HER!!!
i personallly dont have a myspcae because i dont c the need for it if i already have msn messenger .
i hope i helped you out.

If I were you Id just ask... Im 30, a mother, a wife and a christian and I have a myspace account and I love it...great way to keep in touch with friends just to make you feel a little better. But if you want to know just ask. Myspace is not for just the young just let her know your interested in what its all about and ask for a tour! If that doesnt help than just sign on to myspace.com and search for her. She might have it set on private and if she does than thats a good thing if your worried about "pervs" and if still want to see than just make her show you after all you are the Mom... But, I say stress to much over it.

Tell her you want to see her myspace page. It is your obligation as her parent to know what she's doing-both in reality and online. Girls have been lured into situation where they were raped on myspace. There was an article last week about it on the news.

You have to type in her name and when she lives it will pull her up. She might have a private acct which means you would have to be her friend to see it. Or you can find out her password and email and do it that way. I would not trust myspace either

First you have to see it it is Private or not Private??Cause you have a choice for it to be seen by public or kept private which allows you and your friends on myspace to see it.if it is set private make her let you check it out. you are the mother not her.and if its not set private then you can just type in your search bar at the top of your internet explorer and type in www.myspace.com/ whatever her myspace name is for example if your myspace name was doratheexplorer you would want to put www.myspace.com/doratheexplorer and it would let you see if it is private or not.But i would just ask her to let you see it cause it would upset her more to know that you are sneakin behind her back and tryin to look at it..And as a teen it would make me feel as if you dont trust me or something so if i were you i would just demand her to let you look at it..Good luck!!

go search her name and location. then you can see her page. I think it is a great Idea to keep tabs on her. Myspace can get out of hand with young adults. If her profile comes up Private you cannot view it unless you are one of her friends.
