[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my view, I would not focus on "caving to Facebook."  My HS kids have not used Facebook in a couple years and my college kids have not used in longer than that. If you focus on Facebook, your kids will be a step ahead of you by next month.  Because the "hot" social media apps are ALWAYS changing, I would adopt a policy involving ALL social media.

I not naive enough to think that my kids have not done a a workaround but here are a few that we implemented across the board (only with HS ages and below):

1.  Password is shared
2.  Must "friend" me, DH or cool, hip but VERY protective Aunt.
3. Any app on any device (plus texts) is subject to inspection on demand and without notice. 
4.  If we find out that you have a "dummy" account for the parents, accounts must be closed and all electronic devices will be confiscated until further notice but not less than 90 days. 
5.  Posting of age inappropriate material - see item 4.
