BBC NEWS | Children flock to social networks
More than a quarter of eight to 11-year-olds who are online in the UK have a profile on a social network, research shows.
Most sites, such as Bebo, MySpace and Facebook, set a minimum age of between 13 and 14 to create a profile but none actively enforce the age limit.
Ofcom's survey of 5,000 adults and 3,000 children found 49% of those aged between eight and 17 have a profile.
Ofcom says parents need to keep an eye on what their children do online.More info @ : BBC NEWS | Technology | Children flock to social networks
