Baby Facebook? Part I

A new Facebook policy is in the works to allow children under the age of 13 into the world of social networking, leaving some adults questioning whether the site is appropriate for children that young.

After many recent accounts of cyberbullying, and with advertising and other content that is geared towards the website's main market: college and high school-aged users, parents are skeptical.

"I think it just opens so many doors for kids to get into trouble," Jill Langlinais, Mother of three children ages 13 and under, said. 

Another concern is, if preteens are given the go-ahead to make profiles, that their time in front of the computer screen will only increase- a number that is already pretty large. 

Since the new users would be so young, some parents are also nervous that the children won't understand the seriousness that comes with a social media profile.

"I don’t think they understand that, once you put something out there, it’s there forever. It just doesn’t go away," Langlinais said.  "Kids that little don’t understand how that sort of technology should be used."
