Is it possible

[allison443]

Well, googling didn't help much. Found a lot of info about child predators and terroristic threats though.

I sent the girl a message telling her to unfriend my daughter as she will be doing so when dd gets home from school.

Really, when you googled "report someone to facebook" the first link wasn't to facebook's help center with explicit instructions on what to do?

Just curious... what exactly did your DD say about the jonas Bros...

If she stated a personal opinion.. "i don't like the JB" that would be one thing...
but if DD said "the JB are for babies" or something like that I would also speak to her about not putting down something that other Kids enjoy....

Personally I would not let my kids have a FB at 12... there is too much drama and frankly Op you seem to be contributing to the drama....

Ouch - I don't know if I would have done that. You may have created more drama than what its worth. Like others have said - as soon as your daughter "unfriends" her then she is no longer her friend.

May I suggest as well that your daughter limit all of her privacy settings to Friends and Friends ONLY - not friends of friends - that way others generally aren't going to see her postings unless it is friends.

I think you are creating a storm in a glass of water. Involving yourself by sending an e mail you opened the gate for nastiness from the other girl. Don't be surprised if your daughter will be bullied and called a cry baby next week. (or worse)
I know this sounds harsh but that is how it works in the real world.

*cringe* I'd never get involved in tiffs involving my kids unless it was absolutely necessary, and this really isn't.

Your DD should have just unfriended her, and left it at that. Or, since you DD is under 13, you could have (should have?) deleted her account. (And if you do delete her account, don't go reporting the other girl for being under 13 just for revenge.)

All she said was " I hate the JB" , expressing her opinion. Doesn't call for fer "friend" to f-u in response.

Over reaction. Delete the comment, move forward.

This ^

To tell you the truth, this whole, "How do I report someone because they said a bad word to (insert whomever)?" smacks to me of revenge. It's got an "I'll show HER!" feeling written all over it.

I don't get involved in any of the drama on Facebook, but I can tell you from experience your best action is to "unfriend" or ignore the person with the potty-mouth and back away from the computer if it bothers you so much. That's a good rule for both kids and adults. If you get into some kind of internet pissing contest, both you and the person you're fighting with are going to lose.

Remember the old saying -

Never get into a mudfight with a pig. You'll both get dirty but the pig will love it.

I still don't understand what this girl did to your daughter that required reporting her to FB. Did she threaten your daughter in some way? Sounds like she just used foul language. It's not your job to make sure that other people's children don't swear.

Sounds like this should have been handled with a simple "un-friending" by your daughter. Mom has blown this WAY out of proportion.

This.

And your daughter is already too big to have Mommy stepping in for her every time something is not perect in the world.

Honestly, if my mother ever called another kid on my behalf and intervened in a spat I would be mortified.

 

[Anjelica]

How old is this "other" girl? Sorry if I missed that but I don't recall that being posted. I wouldn't be surprised if the mother/father of the "other" girl gets involved now that you got involved.

You may want to diffuse the situation and possibly just have your daughter remove her facebook account completely until she turns 13. You can then play it off if it comes back from the "other" girl's parents that she was removing all her friends and deleting her account.

no kidding, honestly Op I think you created more drama over this then the 12yrs. could have created on their own.

 

[jazzielady]

Ya know what folks? I was asking how to do something, not for opinions about my parenting, or whether dd should be on fb, or whether she's old enough, or anything else.

A word of advice from a mom of 2 dd's and a ds. Try to stay out of minor stuff like this. Your dd needs to develop a bit of a thicker skin or she will (and you) will be in for it in the next few years. Now, was it right for this girl to curse at your dd? Of course not but why engage in it? Delete her as a friend and move on. We have a neighbor who gets way to involved in her dd's 'stuff' with friends. She actually called another mother and set up a meeting b/c the other girl called her dd a liar. This is the 3rd time she has interfered with the girls over something so trivial. The result is noone wants to hang out with this girl now b/c if they look at her wrong she cries and runs to Mommy. Middle school will be a nightmare for this kid.

BTW, tell your dd I agree about the Jonas Bros

Thank god it wasn't Justin Bieber that your daughter dissed.

Then you should have just asked the question without elaborating on the situation.

You are fairly new to the boards, so maybe you have not experienced this yet. You will never just get a yes or no answer on these boards . You will get everyone's opinion even if you don't ask for it .

Or just googled it....
