Thanks so far. I feel like I'm not in the wrong. (BTW the site is called myspace.com). A day after we had her shut it down she's not pissed and talking to me as though it never happened, so hopefully she is understanding and accepting of my decision. But there's something else about this that's bothering me. My daughter has always been an honor student involved in school activities since she was able. I consider hor honest and trustworthy and except for a "slut test" I saw she had taken (and fortunately got a score only a parent would appreciate) she posted nothing I would consider inappropriate. However some of these kids, and I've had them over at my house plenty of times, are posting pictures of themselves looking incredibly slutty, like they're drunk or on drugs or as I mentioned before posting stuff that immediately gave me the impression they might benefit from professional help. I'm sure some of it is the hype of beoing able to create a whole new personality just by typing it in, but do I keep what I read and saw about other kids to myself? I have no desire to be a martyr or a snitch, but should other parents have a right to know what I stumbled onto totally by accident?
