I went to a Library one time and i saw this little 7 or 8 year old girl on myspace on the computer!
And to top it all off she had her REAL picture in there and has some information on where she lives!
What if a RAPEST! added her? (Or any other underage children in this matter) and asked to be friends, and "Go hang out" somewhere!
And i often wonder if the parents care, or don't know!
What do you think?

i think a lot of times parents don't think their kids are up to dangerous things, and they don't bother to check up on what their kids do on the computer. or some people still live in that world where contact on the computer because it is not a "stranger on the street" poses no threat.
i think a 7 or 8 year old should be on sites like PBS kids playing games if they must be on the net. I really think kids under 12 should be making friends in real life and playing outside with them and riding bikes and stuff.

Maybe she is trying to be cool? I am not sure, and I agree that it is unwise to even have a Myspace at that age, much less having one's personal information displayed for predators.

most parents dont even know about it.
they do it cause they wanna feel grown up or independent or whatever
they dont really know much about rapists and all that...
at least she didnt give out her address
parents just needa watch there kids.
i remember signing into alot of things that had to be over 13 when i was like 8

I am 11 and currently operate a MySpace accounts to easily contact my other friends who have MySpaces. (commenting, messaging, + more)
PLUS I set my profile on private, and if someone that I don't know friend requests me, I say GOODBYE! Lol.
I agree that 8 is a little young. But in about 3 years I would see no problem with it as long as she has her profile set on private and only adds people that she knows.

It's really a shame. Welcome to American youth culture. Those girls probably have a closet full of miniskirts and high heels already.
