Tonight I will be discussing 'Our Children on Facebook'. How old do you think a child should be before they get a Facebook page? As a parent do you set guidelines for your child's Facebook usage? Do they follow them? Should parents check their child's Facebook page or is this an invasion of their privacy? Join me as I discuss this very important issue and please call in and join in because I want to hear from other parents regarding this subject.
