My kids are in their mid 20s so threats won't work.  I sometimes check out what my neices and nephews are doing and rat them out.  They think that their parents are clairvoyant or something.. |

There are software programs which allow you to see every key stroke, which allows you to not only see where the kids have been on the web, but you can also replicate their IM messages, both sent and received. My daughter says that is an invasion of privacy... I say when she hits 'send', it's out there for anyone who has the technology to get it.

I would go with the BIG NO. There may be cool stuff on myspace, but lots of potetial problems with online preditors ects.. My son is 13 and we do not let him use it. I work at a middle school, the police have done some assemblies for the kids, lots of bad stuff for youngsters. Some adults who use it ,are really computer savey, and could track down where you live ect..

Wow there are alot of paranoid parents out there, if your kid has a good head on there shoulders they should know right from wrong, and should make the right decisions. Most of the trouble happens to kids that there parents have no clue what they are doing.
