<p>Putting together Facebook AND CC?!! Surely that is like putting gasoline on a fire.</p>
<p>(For those who try to figure out who I am, I would like to say that I am NOT the person of the same name who is a porn star.)</p>
<p>I can’t even find the CC group 
I was also wondering- what would you do if your child sent you an invite to be their friend?- I don’t have to look at their stuff & I doubt if I would- but I am also thinking for my particular child, it is more comfortable to type stuff at me- than talk to me-
however- I expect that when she goes off to college- they will have a closed group.</p>
<p>I can’t find the FB group either! Help!!</p>
<p>I changed the group to Secret by request so no one can view the members in the group that isn’t a member. If you PM me on CC with your facebook info (and city so I can actually find you) I will add you to the group. There are some concerns about privacy.</p>
<p>MOWC…it is good you changed it because at first, the members were listed and now it is fine and they are not (similar to the group I am in which first met on CC).</p>
<p>Hi all,
I found the group I think it’s College Confidential Parent…It didn’t have a list last night when I initially clicked to join, which is good. Can’t go on fb at work so will check it out tonight. “See” ya there 
EKitty, your d may have freaked out and de-friended you? Initially it’s probably best if we don’t post on our kid’s wall or comment on their pictures, lol. Give them time to realize that their moms aren’t there to spy, but indeed are doing their own thing! If you want to message them send it privately to their fb email.</p>
<p>with my reputation on CC, I think you all would understand why I will not put my name or face out there. :)</p>
<p>Haha Dad II, I don’t think we’ve met but don’t worry I won’t go back & see why you think you have a bad rep. It’s true tho that the nastiness doesn’t exist on FB, at least that I can tell so far. People are accountable for their words more.</p>
<p>I may have to make the group “unsecret” again because I don’t think I can add people who aren’t my “friends”. So either I have to friend everyone first, or I have to compromise the privacy level. Does anyone have experience with this?</p>
<p>You shouldn’t have to friend anyone to have them join the group. Secret probably hides the group from anyone else finding it, so that’s no good either. I think the way you have it now should work as long as you verify via fb messaging who people are, you don’t have to friend them to have them join. You can message without friending in other words. Play around with it, hopefully I can get on tonite & help out.</p>
<p>Right now I have it secret, but I’m going to put it back to the middle level when I get home so people can find it.</p>
<p>Bumping this up- our group is growing. PM me if you are interested in joining.</p>
<p>I found it!</p>
<p>MOWC, I sent you a PM with a request to join. I also did a search on Facebook for groups called “College Confidential Parents” and did see it there. Oddly enough, the search results listed not only that group, but a number of others with no apparent similarity in name or subject – including one called “The Sex Files,” and another called “Sexy Michelle Maylene Appreciation Society”! Is there something about your new group I don’t know?!</p>
<p>Donna</p>
<p>HaHa. That’s funny. I wonder why that stuff came up! We are getting quite a nice group.</p>
<p>Thanks for inviting me to join, MOWC. It does seem like a very nice group of people. Although I do hope you’re not planning to start an “Election and Politics” subgroup over there!</p>
<p>Isn’t it ironic? Here we are on the “Parents Forum” and we have to go to Facebook to get away from the kids!</p>
<p>I do understand the need for privacy when your kids are in hs applying to college and you are at work surfing the internet. My kids are in college and I don’t have a job so personal internet privacy is no longer an issue for me!</p>
<p>We now have almost 30 members in our CC Facebook group and it’s a lot of fun to get to know each other. For anyone who is facebook-phobic, this might be a good way to test it out.</p>
<p>I’m on Facebook and can see my kids’ photos. I don’t comment on them so they are cool with that. I have even been friended by my son’s gf so we know it is serious. ;)</p>
<p>I do worry about privacy issues with Facebook & CC, esp. since Google has access to the database. Did you know if someone is in the news you can just google “Joe Shmoe on Facebook” and up comes their photo? (If they’re on FB.) </p>
<p>I think I’ll stick with the circle of friends I know. :)</p>
<p>If anyone makes a request to join today, it will be this evening before I can approve it. We can’t access facebook from work.</p>
<p>Re: privacy. I’m not too worried about people seeing my facebook picture on google. I have seen full pictures and contact information on people that is in church newsletters, music group sites etc. Privacy seems to be a thing of the past. I agree that you have to be a little careful, but many people would be shocked at how much information is out there about them.</p>
