[QUOTE="buddy, post: 469462, member: 12886"] I wonder why the dad was not held as responsible as the mom? That is crazy. In our family all kids must friend all of their aunties. Just the other day I caught my niece sending her phone to a friend who lost it....she just didn't think about how friends of friends get things and it goes out into cyber world. I texted my sister right away. she had put up pics. of herself in a bikini (not just normal swim pics, cutsie posed seductive ones) and my other sister also called her out. He used the r-word referring to an x-boyfriend and we called her out on that too. she has a phone with FB and friends too....if she breaks trust she is grounded, phone is taken, if she was to buy another, by by after school activities. There are always more consequences and we do have to try. Even if they sneak it is better to make it less easy as much as possible. It is the big picture that is more important here...not just the phone and facebook. Even my difficult child who can't write sentences well has every family member, grandparents etc. on his FB and I am in control of his signing on and off. My sisters all give their kids contract phones so they are not tempted to get one of their own (why spend money when they are getting it for free) and they use the parent controls to block internet when needed. Mine doesn't have a phone yet, I will at some point because he has to learn to use a phone correctly but he is just not ready. Called 911 from a school phone (hung up but still, teacher caught him). None of these kids re difficult child's though, (except mine) and so I dont know about life with that and a phone....I know there has to be some cases where natural consequences, like ruining your rep. and trouble with the law may be the only things that work..... but for most kids....???
