There has been plenty of debate concerning thewhole myspace issue.
So we thought we'd join in on controversy.
So is it good or is it bad, or
DOES IT DEPEND ON WHAT YOU DO WITH IT?

As a daddy of three, i have been pretty much opposed to having myspace in my home.
my bride and i are in agreement.
my 3 kiddos, actually could care less (SO FAR SO GOOD) about having
an account.
I'd say myspace, like the internet
is neither good or bad, in itself.
it's what we choose to do with it that makes it GOOD OR BAD.
here is something to consider.
IF YOU CAN FIND A CURRENCY WITH YOUR CHILD OR TEEN, then i say use it.
if it is not SIN, implenment it.
it will require more work, more boundaries,and more consistency, BUT HEY AREN'T OUR KIDS WORTH IT?
At one time both of my kids had mysace. I had their passwords and looked through their page on a constant basis. My oldest daughter has since deleted her myspace page, and my youngest does not go on it as much as she use to. I agree with boundries it can be a good thing. BUT the kids w/o boundries are the ones who cause the problems. Here is a thought that just popped into my head. Most child abusers have use myspace to find their prey. This is when boundries are needed and as a parent we need to make sure our kids do not follow into that trap.
It has recently been decided that a child abuser can NOT receive the death pently by the Supream Court, and I believe that they do more damage to kids than death. It causes more mental and physical problems, and it causes them to act out or commit the same crime to feel like they hve their respect back. Now this might not always be true but if you can find stats on this I think that I would be right...I hope
thanksgiving boromir, for shedding some much needed light on this issue.
glad to hear you had boundaries in place. seems like you guys enforced em too.
funny, but i'm glad your girls don't frequent myspace . Just one less avenue for unwanted problems.
I'm a mother of two. My older child has a myspace account.
however we, her parents, have the password.
We have set clear , distinct boundaries. She cannot add any friends without us first acknowleding and approving .
So I guess, myspace is okay for our family.
I think myspace is great. It allows me to keep it touch with so many people.
I think too many people make a mountain out of a molehill, or whatever the saying is.
Keep kids safe by checking on them, but I think its all good.
MySpace as with any other form of communication, needs to be monitored. By parents allowing the kids to roam free they are, in fact causing the problem. Some kids are fine with no form of supervision. Other kids on the other hand need constant monitoring. I do not allow my kids to go anywhere (on the web) other than Nicktoon and other similar "safe" cites. Keep in mind that my children are 8 and under.
kudos, john.
thanksgiving for blogging with us.
i like your comment's theme.
MONITOR.
i like that you've established safe sites for your kiddos to surf.
again, thanksgiving for adding your comment.
