She's 11yrs old with a tagged page! Should i have deleted her email account?

I have an 11yr old cousin. I got her an email account [with her moms permission] under my email account [as a secondary name] and i explained to her all the dangers of the internet and not to get profile pages on stuff like Myspace and Tagged [she kept tellin me how she wanted a tagged page] so i made her PROMISE to me she wouldnt get one [shes not old enough anyway] but i just got an email that says she wants to add me on tagged [i dont thinks she knows she sent it] and so i checked her email and it says that she got profiles on Tagged AND Bebo.


So i'm furious at her! more than just becuz she got these accounts but becuz she promised that she wouldnt so i deleted her email account and shes in school right now so she wont kno until later.


should i have? or shuld i not have?

YES, if you haven't already you still should. If she know better, you should also ground her from the computer.
Reply:Not only were you correct in deleting her account, but she should have additional consequences for lying. Don't reinstate her account.
Reply:she has broken a serious trust here.. I think you should talk it over with her later.. explain why you deleted her account..


My daughter is 10 years old and hasan internet email account... but its for children.. aol kids.. she cant access everything on the net.. only certain sites.. might be an idea to research for a more kiddie freindly email account for her.. or tell her she has to wait until she is 13
Reply:How does her mother feel about it? If she feels the same way, than of course you had every right to delete her email. It is a scary world out there, and young girls are sought out on those sites, because they display too much information or try to be their idea of sexy. She went behind your back and did it, and that deserves a consequence. My girls are only 3 and 6 right now, so I don't have to restrict these things yet, but I do wish you luck :)
Reply:At 11 years old everything should be monitored as far as the Internet goes- when she earns trust ( by making promises and keeping them) then sure she should be given a little more freedom and privacy. I applaud you for taking matters into your own hands- I suggest a sit down with the parents also as a follow up- with her there so she dosen't feel betrayed.
Reply:YES
Reply:Yes -it shows her you mean it and now if she wants them back she has to ask her mother. You gave her the rules and she didnt follow them - so now she can do without.
Reply:you did the right thing. but also you need to tell her parents. they should know. and dont worry about hurting your cousins feelings, she will get over it.
Reply:i think you should let her keep it cause that would make her a more social person but just kind of watch on her or maybe make a page and check her comments sometimes and leave her some.Also you should warn her of internet dangers so she can be aware of them.
Reply:Tell her mother that you've deleted the email account, as your cousin is underage and she broke the agreement you all had.





Unfortunately, she's too young to keep her word on this, so she's too young to have the account. This is what you must tell her.





You are right to be cross, she broke a specific promise. However, I think you knew that there was a strong chance she'd do this and its no real surprise, is it?





Don't enter into discussions/argument with her when you tell her. Just be firm and consistent. Tell her you'll reconsider in a month or so, having discussed it with her mom again. At only 11, you and her mom have to ensure you protect her, there are so many dangers out there you have to be sure she'll follow the rules that are set, before you can set her loose on it again.





You absolutely did the right thing in deleting her account. Stick by it.
Reply:She broke the set rules, so that means she doesn't get to reap the benefits. She should still be able to log in to her profiles though, since after the intial setup they don't verify your email anymore. And she could always set up a yahoo e-mail. Talk with her, b/c you deleting her email isn't going to hinder her ability to have those profiles.
Reply:Absolutely right.
Reply:no u shouldnt ov because there is lots ov bad people out were and she could end up meeting one
Reply:yes u should before she get hurt
Reply:She can always open another account. You should tell her parents.
Reply:you are right. She broke a rule and you have effectively grounded her. wait for at least two weeks before you reinstate her account.
Reply:if it was on your account then yes you have the right to delete it... she didnt hold up her end of the bargain
Reply:You have no right to be furious with her. If you were supposed to be responsible and in charge then YOU should have been monitoring her actions online. She is far too immature to have her own computer and should be monitored at all times when she is on the internet. You're placing blame on the wrong shoulders. YOU and her parents are to blame for not paying attention to their daughter.
Reply:Yes you are right to delete the account, she is far to young to put herself into danger in this way.
Reply:ah. what do you think?
Reply:yes you should
Reply:That is what i would have done.





Not only did she break a promise to you, but she could have hurt the trust you have with her mother. So, ya you are right.
Reply:Good for you, i wish more people were responsible like you. I would have done the same exact thing.
Reply:yup
Reply:NO!! Jeez! If you explained all the dangers and stuff it should be no big deal! Yeah Tagged and Bebo are dangerous, but their also a great way to keep in touch with friends and family! I honestly think that was a dumb decision. You should make her another email address!
