Well first off...I thought you had to be 16 to have a myspace acct. So your son lied about his age?? I hate those things. I saw one some 13 year old boy had (he obviously lied too) that had tons of filthy language and suggestive talk. I have told my kids that if they ever DO get an acct. (big IF) I would have to read what they've posted and okay it. Too much scary stuff going on on myspace.

Well his profile should be private to outside people if he's under 18- he would have to add them on as a friend. That's the good news

The bad news is there is no way to regulate who he be friends on the site. I don't think Myspace is a bad thing, I would have used it as a teen and my mom wouldn't have even monitored me. however, if you are even the slightest bit concerned and it doesn't feel right for him to be on it - maybe you should ban it for awhile and let him know that if he wants to use it, he needs to follow the rules.

I also agree that you should report this girl, and the information to MySpace. They probably can't do much with it but at least it's in their hands and you know you notified someone.

I'm so glad you were protecting your son on the computer, it's so important for parents to go on and see what their kids are doing on the internet. It feels crummy because you trusted your son and he broke it (even if it seems harmless). You should definately keep the communication open and if you both are willing to give it another go, maybe he can earn that privalage back. For now, maybe delete the account?
