Stick to your guns about her internet time and access and make sure the computer is not set up in her room. Also check to see if any of her friends have set up a myspace.com account for her. You would be surprised how kids get around issues nowadays. Also remind her that you are mainly concerned about other people who pretend to be her age and could talk her into something she may not be able to get out of. Let her know that she is not as unknown as she may think because anyone can show up at your door just by chatting with you because they have access (as you do) to where you live.

She is online because you're letting her. She's 9! You make the rules. If you care about what she is getting into then get her off of the computer. 1. Password protect it so she can't let herself on. 2 Put it in a busy public room such as a living room or den. 3. New rule, she is only allowed to use the pc when you are sitting right there with her.
Don't worry about her getting upset or mad at you. She'll get over it.
I have teenagers and they still aren't allowed unattended on the net. I've eased up on the older one just a bit but the youngest doesn't even bother asking. They know the rules, there's no sense in arguing over them, and they know what will happen if they break them.
For your daughters own safety, you need to find out what she's up to and stop allowing her online unattended.

Yes, she should be supervised when on line as there are too many perverts out there waiting to take advantage. Give access to sites that are age appropriate and block the others, but still keep an eye on this.

Age is not an issue if your kid is growing up well and mature. My son is 7yrs old and I let him use the net. I feel proud if he can log in, load cards, and use the keyboard as part of their spelling drill. Make everyday a learning experience of trust and education. No exposure, no knowledge.

Yes definitely, tell her to read a book, may be as a special treat for good behavior if you are in the room and make sure there is no perv on the other end, good luck

Yes. Way too young. You can monitor her if you do let her on though. There are also parental control software programs you can get to limit her access. You can also install spyware on your pc to see exactly what she does online.

Much too young to be online by herself. Even when you turn on "safe search" adult material sneaks in anyway. She must always be supervised while online.

I think she should be aloud to go online, but on certain games or chatlines. I think you should wait until she understands what happens to kids if they chat to other people and that stuff. So maybe just her age of games.
