I would say a sound spanking would be a good start. Then take the computer away and stand by your punishments. Make sure her friends' parents know that she is not to use a computer too!
Or you could give her some time out and a cookie.

Initially I would say take computer priviledges away for a set time as a form of "grounding". When she is allowed to return to computer usage make sure that you have had the proper controls installed to limit her access to certain sites.
The next important thing is keeping the lines of communication open. Why did she visit these "bad websites" and why do you concider them bad. Make sure she understands why they are not acceptable to you.
Communicate with her on her level of the reasons why Myspace is not something you want her to use. Kids really don't see the dangers, they just know that their friends are on and see it as a way to communicate with their friends. Myspace accounts can be controlled to only allow friends to view. If you research it you may find a online community solution for your child whether at Myspace or at another forum, that you can set the controls for to ensure their safety. Or you may decide that this is still off limits and set a rule for her of what age she will be allowed to open an account. Of course making sure she knows the rules about what you can and cannot disclose online.
If she is curious and seeking information, make sure she knows that she should always feel safe talking to you about her questions. Even if the topics she broaches make you uncomfortable, wouldn't you feel more comfortable knowing you are helping her reach her answers instead of her getting them from an unknown source.
Good luck keeping her safe and happy.

first, take away all computer privileges. You need to tell her the dangers of such a young lady on the net, especially myspace, facebook, etc... She needs to know WHY you keep her from those sites. She is old enough to know all about the bad guys, what they want and what they can do. She may just be curious, and that is normal, but this is not the same world we grew up in, these monster can hide behind fake names and cute avatars and fake ages.

What your daughter need is a good reprimand. Tell her the bad consequences of what she did. Punishing her with something drastic might hurt her feelings so much. Just try to explain to her that doing things like that is not acceptable in your home. Unless, she does it again, then try to put passwords in your computer and be sure you can watch her while she is surfing. Girls her age are in the curious stage and they will try anything to satisfy their hunger for knowledge. If you teach them moral values, then, she, herself, will get away from the bad websites.

Well first and foremost, totally ban her from the computer. If that means setting up passwords on your computers at home so she can't get access then so be it. Next, I would sit down and talk with her and find out why she is acting out in such a way. Maybe something is really bothering her or she just wants attention.

Take the computer away from her, I do not know where kids got the idea that using the computer is a right rather than a privilege, if she is not going to handle the responsibility of using the computer then take it from her. It is like allowing a kid to drive, if they are speeding or driving recklessly, you take the keys from them, same goes for the computer, until she is mature enough to handle it take it from her not just for a few days either I am talking months, if she needs it for school work there are ways to block the net! Good luck

if the computer is the problem make sure she dosen't get acsess to one without your permission and supervision! Take the power cord with you when you leave the house or set up a password protection and do not give her the new password. You do need to explain to her why you dont want her going to those sites.

Ban her from the computer.
When my brother found out that his, then 11 year old now 13 year old, had a myspace after telling her not to, he flipped out. He took her computer monitor and put it in the trunk of his car.
Then she was grounded for a month for lying to him.

password the pc. make seperate user accounts. Put lots of limits on her account.
put pc in a place that you can see what sites she is visiting make a for homework only rule, for a while.
wouldn't hurt to ground her for a week or so as well, second offense. make sure to talk about the websites in question so you can see what's up with her, what she thought of all that. If they are porn sites, make sure to have a good conversation about real life and love as opposed to what she saw.
Good luck.
