"A July 2010 survey found that 37% of U.S. 10-to-12-year olds were on Facebook, which means that every one of these children had to lie about their age to get on the service." This quotation was taken from the report linked below.
A Parents' Guide to Facebook, by Anne Collier and Larry Magid, the Co-Directors of ConnectSafely.org, is a 34-page resource available online as a printable PDF file. It begins with an introduction to Facebook's features and uses, addressing topics such as "How do we parent Facebook users?" and "Digital footprints & good reputations," along with sensible suggestions. For example, "...the No. 1 safety tip is 'Talk with your child.'"
There is also an interactive feature, "Recommended Facebook Privacy Settings for Teens," available at ConnectSafely.org to help you and your teens choose the privacy levels that suit them best.
