Facebook?

I am thinking of making up a false identity to spy on my 14 year old daughters facebook,have you done this or would you do this,opinions please.

I wouldn't go there if I were you.

Presuming she has made her profile only accessible to people she accepts as friends, you'll not be able to see what she's up to anyway.

Hopefully you've taught her well enough about staying safe on the internet NOT to accept a friend request from a random stranger (ie. you!).

unfortunately she does accept strangers,which is one reason why i wanted to check on her

would she not accept you as a friend if you had an account.

I think she is up to something and it is one way i would find out,she doesn't live with me but i do see her and somethings fishy

Far better to get her to let you be her friend properly as I've done with my son. I have made a promise that I will never write anything embarrassing on his wall lol.

This will not necessarily help you, however, as, if she wants to, she can customise posts and block your name so you still won't be able to see what she's doing anyway.

If you already know then approach her about it. If you are trying to catch her out, that is far worse. I'm guessing you don't know and only suspect.

Have you spoke to who she does live with about it first and foremost?

I would never advocate spying!!....... As, if it all goes wrong and she discovers you've gone behind her back and tricked her, your relationship possibly won't ever recover from something like that.

Have you tried talking to her about what you feel is fishy??

How about the good old fashioned way and try talking to her?

My DD is on Facebook, she is 16 but I am on her friends list, sometimes wish I wasn't though! lol
