You can ask her to let you see her page. That's the polite way. :)
If it's not listed as a private profile, you can just view her profile and see what's there.

Just ask her.
Is her page "Private"? If not, you can just go to her page to check it out. She may have pics set to be viewed by 'friends only', which means you will then have to become her 'Friend' to view. Request 'Add Friend'. If she approves, then you can go check out her pics.
You can be secretive about who you are....or not. Depends on your relationship, I guess.

If nothing works the only thing is to be a little nosy and install a key logger on to her computer and check everything when she is at school and that way you will be able to get all the things she types on the computer. There are also other programs which will do the key log and also record like a video in real time of what is going on, on the computer. That is being real sneaky and nosy but I rather be nosy then letting them leave with some stranger to some other country or worse. I have myspace blocked on my router that way my daughter can't access it because she was getting out of hand when she did have access to it.
I know I'm still kinda young (26) but I see this as an invasion of privacy. If it's available on the web for all to see, then of course there's nothing wrong with checking it out....but key loggers?...that's just wrong.
It's true that the younger generation relies heavily on computers for communication. When older adults were younger, there was no way to track their private convos unless parents stole their "notes" or followed them around.
I've never understood why these "technological advancements" have made it okay to invade the privacy of a parent's child....especially since the majority of those spying would have flipped out had their parents had a way of spying on them back in the day.
I agree with the earlier post...just ask what they are up to. Expect to only hear half the truth, but don't destroy their trust or they'll hide even more stuff from you.
Just my two cents...

You don't need her password to see her Myspace page.
I'd start by asking her about Myspace. If you want, you could show her my page (nothing too exciting on it!), tell her lots of us have them, ask her if she knows how to make one. She'll probably be proud to show you her page. My son and I built ours together. Sometimes I'm embarrassed to claim him but it's been a fairly good way to see what's going on with his gang. I just read the comments they leave in public, not his private messages.
If she acts like "What's Myspace?" Then I'd get nosy. I agree, don't break her trust. Unless you have to. When I have to, I'm all Mom, I'll invade anything.

I don't think children should expect total privacy from their parents. It's the parents job to be nosy. Especially if the child is getting into some potentially dangerous situations. Myspace is one of those "potentially dangerous situations."

Like when Dad found and confiscated (stole) my collection of Playboys and Penthouses that I had hidden under my mattress!

There's a difference between a kid HAVING a MySpace page and a kid getting into a "potentially dangerous situation" with one....It all depends on how they use it, who they talk to, add, etc. I think that Beth has the best suggestion here as to how to handle finding about her page/talking to her about it. JDR brought up a good point about invasion of privacy and e-mail vs sending letters/notes when we were kids.

Yeah, I agree with JDR, it would hurt to have someone close to me invade my privacy. But I can understand where you're coming from Babyccc. I'm glad you asked her and I'm sure she's also glad. I think otherwise it would have hurt your relationship.

I'm glad it worked out that way as well, unfortunately on this side we have a little sneaky one that likes to use things like myspace to do other things that she's not supposed to and she would no way give her password out to me or her mom. Besides when she would be on myspace or MSN messenger she would not even carry out a normal conversation with us or anyone on the phone and she was always on the defensive side yelling instead of talking. Sometimes it does good just to take them away from the cyber world because they take it to personal instead of just being a hobby.

Tekniko-One of the best things about computers is taking the privilege away and making them earn it back. :D

Bethany I agree with you. Like right now for example she's grounded completely from being on the PC because she brought home some really bad grades so unless she brings something good home from school she will not get her privileges back to be on the PC.

How about asking her for it? That is the only legal way to get it. Other than that, you would certainly be invading her privacy.

get a key logger on your pc, but make sure its a good one and it can go in a invisible mode so she cant see it.

That's right. Be distrustful in an attempt to catch the girlfriend who may or may not be trustful. :thinking:

Anybody who does that deserves infidelity.
