Underage friends

The title of this post is a subhead in an article from the June issue of Consumer Reports.  The entire article points to a troubling trend:  tween activity on Facebook. (link to summary below)

This report validates what observers have widely noted:  preteens can (and do) easily slip through Facebook age restrictions.

The statistics might shock some parents, but if that’s the only impact, we will have missed the important point.
