Teen Drug and Alchohol Use on “myspace”. Is This Invasion of Privacy?

Question by mgneer65: Teen drug and alchohol use on “myspace”. is this invasion of privacy?
I recently got into my 14 yr old daughters “my space” and found evidence of drug and alchohol abuse and she is now extremely angry with me about confronting her and looking at her myspace which was set to private. what privacy should i allow a 14 yr old girl?
also side note she lives with her mother and mothers boyfriend and they not only were aware but somewhat gave her permission…my instinct is to yank her out of the house and “force” her to live with me. She will not be happy living with me because all her “friends” will be 40 miles away. She would though be living with her 2 brothers and her older sister whom already live with me
drinking Tequila, apple shots, smoking pot and snorting ritalin and cocaine

You are her parent and have ever right to monitor her myspace page. If she is participating in drug and alcohol use you have the right to know that as well. Perhaps you should start checking her cell phone too, and maybe even take her to planned parenthood because odds are if she is using drugs and alcohol she is probably having sex. Don’t let her make you feel bad about something you have ever right to do in the first place. And btw, the only reason her profile is private is because she is so young. Myspace usually perfers that you at least be the age of 15 to have a page and they automatically make the page private because of her age.
