My daughter's teacher allowed 7 girls to sign up when they were 11 and 12. I removed my daughter's immediately, but found that the other parents were unconcerned. I emailed myspace and each one was eventually deleted. The girls weren't happy, but the content was inappropriate, and they were pretending to be older teens. I'm glad you pointed out the pages of friends. If a friend gives out information about the school, etc., and mentions your child as a classmate, your child might just as well have given that out herself. Thank you.
