For or against parents logging onto kids facebooks?

[Shattered]

It depends...

Because for

1. Kids tend to act differently and talk differently around their friends... While it isn't necessarily disrespect for their friends; its just acting differently than they would around their parents or other adults. (I personally wouldn't want to get in trouble for how I talk with my friends because chances are; the way I talk to them I wouldn't talk to an adult that way)

2. Are you telling them that you are checking it or just doing it without your child knowing? Because if you doing it without your child knowing that you're going to look through it then they may not trust you. (Having your child trust you is just as important as you trusting them)

3. Is there a reason you actually have to Monitor their facebook? Because I think that if a child has proven they do not have to be monitored on facebook then I don't think that they should be monitored.

4. What will they get into trouble for if you see something? Will they get into trouble for things that their friends do? Like if you see them talking with one of their friends about how much they don't like a teacher (and you know how kids can get when talking about someone that they don't like) will they get into trouble for that? If their friends post something bad will your child get into trouble? If you see that your child is talking about something that you did that they didn't like will they get into trouble?

All in all; I think that if a child doesn't have to be monitored nor given you any reason to monitor them then I don't think they they shouldn't have to be monitored. I have a FB and my grandparents (or uncles) have to monitor it because I grew up on the internet so I know what and what not to do.
