my 13 yr. old cousin took these raunchy photos of her and a girl friend n posted them on her myspace! i mean she was wearing a booty skirt bent over n her friend was looking up her skirt, she had a pic where she was bent over and her friend was pretending to do it doggy style, and another where she had her hands on her friends boobs! so i sent the pics to my aunt via email! now my cousin took me off her friends list! apparently she's upset with me! i have many cousins including her older bros on myspace but no one said anything! do u all think i did the right thing or should i have kept my mouth shut?i just feel like maybe i shouldn't have gotten involved! i don't want others erasing me in fear that i'll snitch them out! i don't know y my aunt even mentioned my name, she should've just said a concerned cousin b/c we have many cousins on myspace! i guess my feelings r hurt, u try to do the right thing and it bites u in the butt!

Let her be mad. At leat you cared to let her mom know. 13 is really young espaecailly to be acting errotic with another female! Where do they get this stuff and why doesn't her mom know about her having a Myspace account since you are supposed to be atleast 14 to have AN account in the frist place for good reason and it should be priavte to public! 13 and this kind of adult behavior will lead to such a corrupt adult life.

It's really hard to have someone you care about be mad at you. but it's better that she is mad at you than to have something happen to her. She is only 13 and she should get over it. enen if she doesn't for along time you still did the right thing. Maybe you shoulf talk to you Aunt and find out what happened. You really did the right thing so don't go second guessing yourself.

Good job, kids need to have a distinct line drawn for them about what's acceptable and what isn't.Let her be angry, one day she'll thank you.

Don't worry hun. You did the right thing. You very well might have saved her life. Its girls like that that the child predators prey on. Just think how guilty you may have felt if something God Forbid would have happened to her. I think her mom should take My Space away from her until she proves she can use it responsobility. Should could end up getting into some trouble on the internet.

I think you did the right thing. She is only 13 and that's unacceptable. BTW, you're supposed to be at least 16 to have a myspace page but kids are getting away with it by putting down the wrong birthdate. I would've told your cousin & aunt that it won't be too funny when some perverts start wanting to add her on as a friend not to mention that pedophiles are all over the internet.

In my opinion, you have done the right thing. I would have done the same. The 13 year old woill get over it eventually. It may take a long time. They had no business posting something like that. I would want someone to clue me in if I was the parent.
As for her leaving your name out, it probably happened without much thought. I am sure it was a total shock! We never believe our children would do something like that. It is always someone elses. She probably lost it. I would give it a while and try to talk with your cousin and explain why you did what you did.

oh you definatly did the right thing!!! 13yr old has no business taking pics like that, MUCH LESS posting them on the internet for all the world to see!!
why doesnt her mother monitor her myspace account?? at 13 she obviously needs it!
it may make you feel like the "bad guy" for having informed her mother..but you did the right thing for sure!
and yeah, her mother shouldnt have mentioned who sent her the emails..in a way that kinda killed any chance of having another "set of eyes" looking out for her daughter.
personally..if i found pics like that on my girls myspace account..her account would be instantly cancelled and she would be grounded from the computer for AT LEAST a month!

No wonder pedophiles are feasting on the Internet!
You did the right thing because she is so young and she needs a moment of pause.
I do agree with you that your aunt shouldn't have mentioned your name. That was unnecessary.

I think you did the right thing but in the wrong way you should have called the aunt to tell her and asked her not to say who tipped her off. But I think you did the right thing overall. ask yourself this question...
I you didnt do anything and some sick perv. Found out were she lives and hurt her or worst wouldnt you feel alot worst then you do right now with her being mad at you her anger will pass and you can help by having a one to one chat with her over the phone or in person and explain why you did what you did and explain to her the saddistic people that are out there in the world.
