[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, you shouldn't be. As long as there is no very revealing photo and she isn't posting the location of where you guys live it's totally fine. My daughter has an Instagram and has about a 1,000 followers when I asked her about it she says she has her account on private and she only lets people she knows to follow her or mutual friends.

+1. I'd be upset if my minor child's online presence involved age-inappropriate photos or risky behavior such as revealing their home address. Otherwise, it wouldn't bother me. If my kid can amass that much of a following, with appropriate content, good for them. Even better for them if they can monetize it.[/quote]

I think it's important that kids that age understand the concept of having a pen name, and I'd try to make sure they understood the possible consequences of being famous for the wrong reasons.

But the choice is really theirs to make; I don't think there's a practical, effective way for most parents in a big, modern city to control this. You can try to educate, but you can't control what happens on the computer in the public library. [/quote]
