Hi this is a informative article. I was curious if I can reprint a few lines of it on my own page? I would obviously link back to it so my visitors could see the original article on your page. Please let me know if that’s ok with you. Thank you either way.

I thought that this article would revolve around safety not sparing my child embarassment in their teen years! After having seen a 15-16 year old stalked i.e. 40 year old man show up at her birthday, her brother’s graduation and following her home, I am aware of the dangers that facebook and my-space can pose. The man was caught with a trunk full of cameras and several fake i.d.s He was then let go because he could not be charged on anything (this happened in Korea near a military base). This girl didn’t even have her own page, but was found by the man looking at pictures of her on a friend’s page! I would much rather post things and be in my kids lives than worry about what might enbarass them, i.e. this girl’s mom didn’t even know how to check her e-mail!

Perhaps this was meant to all just be funny but it got out of hand at #7 and #8 & #9 are also ridiculous.

Vicki’s opinion is reprinted below.

My opinion (and the opinion of many other parenting experts) is that children APPRECIATE parents that are affectionate even though they will act like it grosses them out!

One of the many problems with marriages today is that Dad doesn’t show ENOUGH affection to Mom. Any child who has seen their parents divorce would give anything to have parents who exchanged PDA on Facebook and anywhere else.

Public Displays of Affection are ACCEPTABLE and even more so if you answer to the title “Mom�? or “Dad.�?

Could there be more behind Vicki’s opinion that what is really best for children when it comes to being a mom or dad?

What child wouldn’t need intensive therapy after seeing Dad’s status message in the newsfeed: “My wife is a total hottie and I’m counting the days until our weekend get-away.�? Ew, ew, ew. In fact, Dad’s entire friend list may need therapy after that one. Facebook PDA is unacceptable at any age, and even more so if you answer to the title “Mom�? or “Dad.�?
