My 13 year old DS has been on FB for a while now and we've been "friends" right from the start so I can keep an eye on him.
The only problem with that is that he can also keep an eye on ME as well!!:eek::rotfl:
I've had to remove "what's your favourite sexual position" app that someone had posted on my profile... oh and someone (from MSE;)) had a virus and a very naught pic was passed around all her friends:eek: Luckily I was online as soon as it was posted so deleted it straightaway!BLOWINGBUBBLES:kisses2: SMARTIE120 -
OP I personally think you should create a Facebook profile for yourself, and add your son as a friend - that way he definitely can't share too much information there without you seeing it. You don't have to do much with your own profile, though you may find friends from the past (or present) and end up using it too!Trust me - I'm NOT a doctor!0
