Facebook should not allow ANYBODY of any age to create a group without a second look from a Facebook administrator. Like, a watchdog group for Facebook that is a bit more involved than the TOS and a flag option. Let the group be approved by a real set of eyes before it is open to the public, yaknow?

Unfortunately, what she does in her father's home or any of his relatives' homes are out of my control. I cannot prove what she is doing there beyond accessing her email. It's sad that so many people, despite knowing the dangers of doing so, let children pretty much wander the internet alone. What's just as disturbing, though, is that the ones who made the group creator aware of his mistake were later chastised themselves for not thinking the kid made a mistake. Somebody had to step in and speak up. I wonder how far the creator would have gone if nobody said anything.
