but I must say, as a mother of a daughter who is almost 18, that people can track where she is based on being on Facebook scares the daylights out of me. Has nothing to do with blaming her if something bad ever happened, God forbid. I just agree that young women, and men, need to be more cognizant of the dangers of being so accessible online, both personally and with future employers, etc.
