Do you have passowords to your kids email/myspace
Do you have your kiddos passwords to email or myspace? If so how old are they
Yes to email and she has a FB not myspace, which I set up, and I control. Everything is private so that only her friends can see, and I have to approve the friends. She turned 12 today :)

My dd is 12 and yes I have her password to every website she goes on. It helps that she always uses the same password, mostly so she doesn't forget it :)
Yes, my dd is also 12 and has FB and an art site that she belongs to. I also have passwords to her email accounts. Also, youtube. She LOVES anime and reads/watches it there alot. Phew, I set up that account under an email account that is completely separate from mine and hers and I am so very glad I did. All that email gets is nasty smut/spam!
Yes I do. My kids play online games with their friends (friends they've met while stationed in other states/countries) and I have their passwords and have their profiles locked so if they change anything, it comes directly to me.
None of my kids have facebook or myspace accounts. My older kids are 13 and 10. They have email accounts and I have the passwords to those to.
I have the passwords to my dd's email and FB; however, I am not sold on FB because of postings that I found other kids had put up that she could see even though she wasn't friends with them. So, FB is now off limits. Any help or comments there? I also do random monitoring which she is aware of.
Not sure how to fix the facebook thing. I am just glad to see that I am not the only one in this world who thinks I should have the password to my 11 year old myspace. He will give it if you ask but changes it like 4 days later...sigh. We need to start establishing some kind of rules with the internet

I told my DD from the start that if she changes any passwords I will delete the account. Period, no exceptions, end of discussion. I periodically change it for security but she is never allowed.

My 12 y/o was allowed to set up her site when she turned 12. She has to keep me friended for a couple years so I can see how she's handling it. My 14 y/o unfriended me about 6 months ago and says she's not doing anything I wouldn't approve of but wants to be able to communicate w friends w/o me looking in on them. She hasn't given me any reason to doubt her level-headedness in how she manages herself, so I've not made this into WWIII. She friended the 12 y/o DD, I look in on the 14y/o FB via the 12 y/o FB every couple months, and indeed, it's all innocent kid stuff. They do have a right to some privacy if they are level headed kids, don't they? I don't feel comfortable reading her FB stuff, and I don't feel comfortable not ever checking also.
