[QUOTE="klmno, post: 176354, member: 3699"] He spent the last year (plus some) not having any internet communication (ie- webpages, email, etc- except he could use my email to communicate with his grandmother). I looked the bebo's stuff and it seems to be about the same as the others. I was concerned that facepage is mostly people older than him- although I don;t really know. Anyway, bebo's terms say min. age of 13 while myspace requires 14 yo. I'm pushing conformance to the letter of the law and rules, so I let him sign up on bebo (he doesn't turn 14 for another 6 mos), with conditions- it had to be set to private, we read the safety tips together, I have his username and password, he is to have no friends accepted that he does not know personally, I will be checking it, if any rules are broken- it's gone- no discussion. I debated it, but it seems that he is more apt to conform to rules- or it least he does better at it if he gets some priviledges. If I give him a straight "no" to things he asked for (that other kids get to do), then he sneaks and does whatever he wants until he is caught. So, I'll give this a try. [/QUOTE]
