Scary fact & asking for any help

I just found this board, and let me start by saying I do not have a teenager. My DD is 14 months. However I was looking for people who would be more willing to help than my playgroup board.
My cousin is 13 yrs old and starting to go through a "phase". Well my aunt said that she has been playing on myspace and being VERY secretive about it. I asked her to be my friend and she flat out denied me. Which concerns me because she loves my DD and would be able to see pictures of her on there. So I think she may be up to something, hopefully not serious though. Anyway I have made a fake page of a 17 yr old boy (she says she is 17 on her profile). And the scary part is I am not having any trouble making friends. I have randomly asked about 30 teens to be my friend and only 1 person has asked if they knew me! I was shocked!! It's scary to think how easy it is for predators to get into their circle. But my only problem is, since none of them know me, no one will leave me comments, which looks suspicious. Any ideas on how to make it look more realistic, or any help from people who have myspace pages already would be a HUGE help! And if I can help you in any way please let me know. TIA!!

i don't think setting up a fake profile will help. But instead of assuming she's doing something wrong and condemning the use of the site, teach her how to use it safely. You can learn about this at www.netsmartz411.org.
If that doesn't work, report her profile to myspace and have it deleted because she is underage. Or tell her that if she won't let you see it, you will have it deleted. i reported a girl i knew and her profile was deleted within a week.
