According to a recent report on Mashable, parents regularly check their kids Facebook profiles.  From their blog post:

"The survey of 2,000 parents and teenagers by TRUSTe and Lightspeed Research found that 72% of parents check in on their teen?s social networking accounts at least once per month."

I'm not surprised.  If I was a parent, I'd definitely be checking out my children's profiles.  I'd want to make sure they were only hanging out with the coolest kids and being invited to the hottest parties.

What??  You said you're "Maybe" going to Tommy Rosenfeld's birthday!?  That kid is such a tool.  His likes include "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" and "Willow Smith."  And his latest status update was "Putt putt with my little sister. Perfect Saturday nite, alright!!"

Ugh.  You're totally grounded.
