He has a Facebook page. I don't think either of them is interested in MySpace. I look at these issues the same as I look at all issues regarding their exposure to the world at large. "He/she is going to be a legal adult in X years. Do I want them learning about that now while I'm around or when they're 18?" For the 14 year old (high school freshman), more and more the answer is "Now is the time while I'm here to guide him." Face it. Kids grow up. You have to equip them to be adults and not just your little baby boy or girl. I think my son learned a valuable lesson when he got scammed for some armor and equipment on World of Warcraft. He won't make that mistake again when real money is on the line. I’m the parent of a 12 year old girl and 14 year old boy. He has a Facebook page.
