Yes, I do google my kids and there are many hits and they are on many sites. However, none are ones of their own creation. None are private type things you are mentioning. My kids don't have MySpace sites. They are on facebook like everyone in college but Facebook doesn't come up on google. Was your son's thing a MySpace or some blog type thing? Those who have that sort of thing have to realize that anyone can access it. One thing I liked about Facebook was that it used to be just a college communication community, but not the entire internet. It still is not the entire internet but apparently is open to those not in college now but there are various privacy settings. Those who choose to do blogs or MySpace type things need to realize it is open to all. The stuff I find with my kids online are not private in nature. They are in various news articles on sites related to their activities (ie., one of my kids is a performer and so many things she has been in have sites and things like that). Neither of my kids has her own webpage. Neither have MySpace or blogs or those sorts of things. But I do google them as I like to see what's out there. In fact, I recently found an article one of my kids was in that I didn't know about had I not googled her. I don't even know if she knew it existed and so it was a chance to send it to her.
SillyMe....your son may know that his site is out there for all to see. You could say nothing. If you want, you can mention to him that you were googling him to see what's out there and came upon it and wanted to make sure he knew that the site comes up on google in case he doesn't want to keep that online (but maybe he does and if he does, that's his choice). Personally, I think that sort of thing is better in private.
