    Hi guys

    Thanks for all the advice, not sure if i need to justify the reasons for the question. Just helping with the question will be enougth help, thanks.

    For those who really want to know. I checked up on my daughters facebook account (she's 13) I loggen on as her so that I can view any chats etc.. I one chat she had a male friend of the same age asking her to send over some naughty pics... This happened after she asked if she could take her laptop upstairs (I then logged on as her to see what was happening). :mad:

    I have since blocked him off her friend list, removed her facebook account and taken her digital camera off her and grounded her off the internet til after christmas.

    I will be buying her a new laptop to help with school work as her old one has almost died, which is why i would like to disable any webcams that seem to come with every laptop these days.

    Hope this helps
    John
