We have had problems with my stepdaugter having myspaces and not telling us. Everytime we would find one and delete it because there was too many unacceptable things on it, she would create another one. I had thought we found and deleted all of them, but then we were called into a meeting at church. We are involved in AWANA's and she was a Leader In training. This meeting was called because someone was in her myspace and she had posted pictures of herself drinking UV and she was so trashed. She also had made statements regarding how much she disliked little kids. We were grateful that someone alerted us to this. She had to step down as a Leader In Training for the remainder of the year. We finally came to a comprise of letting her have a myspace, but we have to monitor it which we do daily.
Then, last night I was looking at one of her friend's profiles and found comments stating that 6 kids were going to overdose on numerous drugs Saturday night. I had told this friend's mother that I would keep an eye on his myspace because she doesn't know how to get into it. We called her to let her know that these comments were there because we were concerned for the well being of these kids. Well, today WW3 broke out with the mother. Her son said it was just a joke and then started phone texting my stepdaughter and she would text him back. She did text some things that she shouldn't have and of course, it came back to bite her. We looked at every text message and discussed the wrong decisions she made and how she could've handled better.
Now, the mother has turned this into my son doesn't do this but your daughter does. I really didn't want this to happen. I started wondering if I did the right thing. After talking with some friends about this, they said that they would've done the same thing. I just didn't want to read in the paper that 6 local teens had commited suicide by overdose and knowing that I could've stopped it.
I would encourage anyone with children to find out if your child has a myspace and monitor what is going on. Personally, I wish they would just do away with myspace, but then they would just find someother place to go.
Sorry this is so long, I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening!!
