Still some great feedback and I appreciate it. If there's one thing I am, it's trusting of my kids. I give my older one pretty much much free reign on things because she's never been in trouble, never given me a reason to suspect she's knowingly doing something I would disapprove of, and she's a great student. But at around 15 it's a period for exploration and transition from kid to adult and in some cases I guess they're feeling their way blindly and can get off track without realizing. Most importantly we all cooled off and sat down for a chat about doing the right thing and if you don't know, always remember the expression, "Ask Mom". Mom always knows the answer. Actually, either of your parents or any adult you respect. You might not like the answer, but most of the time it's going to be the one that saves your keester. Well, I'm still too strict a parent though I did get kudos for respecting her privacy, and she seems to completely accept and understand why the site and what they were doing was inappropriate and the potential people they don't even know to share in it or do something potentially worse. Word is getting around that I was on the site and I saw and I know and I may or may not be speaking with other parents. I'm hoping that in itself will be enough for others to make the right decision to clean up their "Internetiquette".
