Why? As long as he is sensible about not being friends with strangers, keeping his privacy settings high and not putting every detail of his life on it then there shouldn't be a problem Dotty. The press like to scaremonger and Facebook seems to get a lot of flak, but it's how people use it that's the problem. My daughter has had an account since she was 12 (almost 3 years now) and she has never had any problems.

I get the impression that is exactly the right age for Facebook. He should probably be given due warning about privacy and how to protect it, though.

what, you think he'll end up like docspock by the time he's 15? A troubling thought.

do his parents have the same worries?

And i should think if he chats to anyone even remotely like Molly, he's pretty bloody safe, hardly a rebel is she?

Facebook rules:
You will not use Facebook if you are under 13.

I too would be concerned.

age 13 is the minimum age for FB, though I know it becomes popular from year 7 onwards, as long as you keep an eye on things it should be okay

cazz, parents can't keep an eye on the second account their children open using a nickname. That's where the real stuff happens.
