If you use the admin account for your computer you could see what she saved - pics, documents, music, and any downloaded programs etc.

and you could make sure her settings are safe depending on her age.

For her online places it depends on if she saved her passwords on the computer and if she put an password on the password file in the browser settings.

Depending on her age I would set her profile/account up with her just to be sure it's as safe as possible for her to go online.

Hopefully her parents have made sure her settings at home are OK and not too much info is given on her myspace or facebook accounts.

Oh yes!!! very true mrsD..
before I installed the WOT on my Firefox browser all the searches I did without knowing what sites might be safe or not...

The WOT {web of trust} puts little colored icons on webpages and search results - green is safe, orange is so so, and red is no no!!
and if you accidentally go to a red site the screen will go black with a warning.

I really suggest anyone searching for things gets this addon - i have a link to it with more infoi in the sticky threads here.

Lil'Monkey is 14...until April 2 , she has a MySpace and a Facebook account. She does not have the password to either of them. I do. It's something we decided as a family. Better to keep her safe then sorry. She and her friends know I check her sites and her messages.

BTW..this also goes for her cell phone. Yep. I did catch one of her guy friends asking her to send a dirty picture. Stoooopid kid. He is 14 and the member of the gym. He got to deal with her bodybuiler dad.
