Is it wrong to read your kid's Myspace?

i don't think that it's wrong. i would read his post. i would not go and into their personal emails, personal stuff is personal. blogs are not pesonal and i would read them

I don't consider this an invasion of privacy as it is public for anyone to see and read . And if he doesn't care who see's it then it shouldn't matter if his mother reads it . If he had a diary or something then I would feel different . But on the internet we have to watch our children closely as their are so many dangers and I would rather take the time to monitor what my child was doing then to find out something bad had happened because I didn't show enough intersts in what they were doing .

Ouch! It's his and it's personal to him, how can you ever be yourself with your mum peering at your stuff in this way. What is she sees something she doesn't like? If he shows her something it's ok, if she sneaks in there it's wrong.

Now I am the first to say don't read a child's diary and such however this isn't like that. This is something out there for everyone in the world to see if they so choose. If he had it restricted for only certain ones to see it and she broke in to view it then I'd say no she was in the wrong but that isn't the case here. With this it's there for anyone and a mother is anyone. If he didn't want her to see it then he shouldn't put it up there.

I don't thinks there's anything wrong with what she's doing at all. Like she said it's on the internet and millions of people are looking at it everyday. So, in my humble opinion I don't think it's an invasion of his privacy. I just watched a program on tv where they were showing all the terrible things kids were doing and putting on their Myspace pages just to gain popularity. Like videos of teenage girls with no tops on or some comletely naked. Then there were the videos of people who were giving violent beatings to other kids to try to make a tough reputation for themselves. There really s a lot of extremely terrible things that kids are doing on there all in the name of popularity. I think she's probably just trying to protect her child and making sure they're not doing any of these thing themselves. I know when my daughter gets old enough to want to get into that I really think I might not let her have a myspace. If she grows up to be very responsible I may let her have one under the conitionthat I be allowed toalway check in to see what she's doing. Not to read all her private things but just to make sure she wouldn't be doing any of the terrible things that I had mentioned above. Sorry that I don't agree with you and honestly don't intend to offend you in any way. I think this was a really good post and gave you a positive rating.

If my kid was allowed to have a MySpace page I'd definately read it! I may not broadcast it to her that I am doing so, but I would want to see what is being posted there. It is a public forum, and my whole attitude on that is the same as my attitude on life, don't say anything you wouldn't want to come back and bite you in the a** later.

Does she have reason to suspect that something "unhealthy" is going on? I would not make a habit of reading my childrens journals, but like you said its there for the whole world to see.

I dont think it whould be wrong to look ever once in a while

I'd be really annoyed if my mother read my myspace page, she read my diary once, was not happy! it's an invasion of his privacy!

Not at all if their friends can look I sure the heck can
