I would not interfere with such an action. This is one of those things that if you try and maken it forbidden, an eleven year old will easily find a way to progress. Saying NO just increases the desire to rebel. Aside from that, having a myspace page just gives you another way to monitor what they are doing.

I think that it depends on the child and how mature they are and also how much they understand about the Internet and talking to strangers on there. As long as there is a good parental filter then it should be safe for them really.

I don't think anyone should be using a computer for socializing before the age of 15, unless there are parental filters installed.

I don't know why there aren't sites, like Myspace, for those under 14, but I imagine it would be difficult to enforce an age limit online.

Myspace can be dangerous place sometimes. Is not that long ago when thirteen years old Megan Meier committed suicide after being intentionally befriended and then dumped by someone she believed to be a new online friend named Josh Evans on Myspace .

I wouldn't allow an 11 year old to have a myspace acount. I wouldn't be too happy if any of my children had accounts there. Too many bad things are going on there and 11 is far too young.

Hmmm, that is one good question. I am aware of how nasty MySpace has become and I can only agree that it is unsuitable grounds for an eleven-year-old, yet, if one doesn't allow a kid to have an account on the site, I am afraid that the child would only find different ways in order to open one. MySpace is very popular to the young ones nowadays and it might take more than just a disapproving frown to keep them away from really joining the network.

Yes, is true that myspace in not safe , as I told before . However, forbidding a child whose classmates have all accounts on myspace to open his own account is not a solution .
Parents should make everything possible for the child to feel safe and accepted unconditionally home and explained that he should be suspicious on friends found on net ,especially of those would keep secret their true identity . An honest friend should have nothing to hind .
