My son is 15 he is on myspace. I have one also to keep an eye on stuff.

I think you are being a concerned mom. Take her name from Myspace (account name) and report it to myspace under your name. Explain to them the part about her dad beating her and see what they recomend. If you have the convo between them still copy and paste it with the report.
You can also report it here info@stopitnow.org. *NOTE: Please include a subject title in your e-mail.

As for him thinking you are weird, what teen doesn't He will thank you later when he is alive to see 21 (then you can worry all over again) HTH

I would side on caution, he doesnt know if it is really a girl, how do you know who you are talking to? it could be anybody posting pictures of other girls, doesnt mean it is a girl.
I am really apprehensive about places like myspace. it is a scary world out there and with the internet all boundries are gone and people can hide behind personas to get what they want from people.

EXACTLY what Im feeling! Ive reminded him of the rules. But why do I feel so crappy?

TRUE! I was going to say the same, It could be a child molester posing as a girl and maybe told you son to meet her someplace and it turns out to be a big man.

You just never know. I remember when i was younger I had that yahoo instant messenger and i was playing around on it, well my brother and i were just messing with it and I even pretended to be a guy. No one I chatted with even knew that i was a girl. It was funny. But I meant no harm. But other people could.

I'm a mean mom...we don't allow it. At all. DD, who is 17, did sign up for it, and also for Xanga. And, we went in and cancelled it. She asked once, but after we explained, she hasn't asked again. I won't complain about her 1000 text messages on her cell phone (which I can see at anytime!) if she will stay away from this part of the internet!

My 2 oldest boys have myspace and so do i...and dh too. It is to watch them and keep in touch w/ old school friends. I also watch our 13 ys old when he chats on msn messanger. We also have cetain spy ware program to keep track of what they are doing. They know the safety issue about internet. I always remind them...to watch out for wierdos.
I maybe a snooping mom but a concerned mom. :D

No, No, No. You are completely in the right. As others are saying, who knows this is even a girl? One with a sob story is sure to bring out the protectiveness and fight instinct in a teenage boy. Any girl from a decent home should be sleeping at that time, and if she's not from a decent home, he's a little young to be involved in someone else's problems. They haven't honed their judgement instinct yet. Of course you feel bad; it's so hard to say no to our kids when we stop them from doing something that makes them happy, especially with good kids. There's better happiness out there, and the chances for him to be caught up in something bad are too high with this. You are in the right, and you know it. Good for you!

I agree with you thanks for just making me feel better.
