Three in four parents spy on children online
Parents have admitted to spying on their children online in an attempt to safeguard them from the dangers of social networking websites.
Children as young as eight are being attracted to social networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Bebo, with a new study revealing more than 750,000 between the ages of 8 and 12 use one, despite minimum age restrictions of 13 or 14.
The research shows parents are taking matters into their own hands with three quarters snooping on their children online. One in four parents admit to secretly logging on to their child’s social networking page, while the same number have also set up their own page to spy on their kids.
