Cymru, I think with all the time kids are on Facebook these days its hard for most to have another account. i think if there was a lot of activity then nothing is when the parent needs to step up and see why. Also a parent could tell from the way their friends interact with them on their page if there is more then one.
Facebook and other social media sites are far more dangerous then your child walking down the street. you can become a 'friend' and then the say bad guy gets close lying then from there gets to earn your childs trust then can hurt them more. This also is letting the bad guy in to your home where the child feels safe and there for isn't on gaurd like they are when they are at the park
Also with the sites there is far more bulling going on then any one realizes and those are not something that is easily gotten over look at all the suicides from bulling from social media sites.
I made a point that when my kids signed up for anything online there were set ground rules. I know their pass words i am their friend and I can/will go in tot their accounts when ever I want to, the same thing with their cell phones. I trust my sons I just don't trust every one else in the world. I could care less if my sons wanted the privacy If they have a problem with me seeing what they are doing they shouldn't be doing it.
