AOL has released the results from a new survey, conducted by Nielsen, about parenting and social networking. The survey found that over half of children don’t knows all of their “friends” personally.


The survey also found that 76% of parents with kids on Facebook have “friended” their teenagers, while 29% of these teens would un-friend their parents if they were given the option. Heartwarming isn’t it? These kids are twice as likely to un-friend their mothers as opposed to their fathers.

Along with the survey, AOL has released a new product called Safe Social, which provides parents with a “360 degree view of their child’s social networking life”. This includes a report card of overall social networking activity and identification of potential red flags.Safe Social from AOL
