How sinful was this?

[DaWhim]

I just helped my 8 y/o niece to sign up for a facebook account. She was begging me to help her since many of her friends already have it.

After that, I realized she probably should not have it.

sorry folks, absolutely no pic, don't even bother to ask.

i know you meant well but i wouldn't take too kindly to my brother creating a facebook account for either of my girls if they were 8 years old and he didn't ask or inform us.

just delete the account.

You just broke the law. You have to be 13 to sign up. See you in jail.

Why couldn't she do it on her own?

Because then OP couldn't have had an existential crisis and made this thread.

she didn't even have an email box, never create a password.

I'd have made her do it herself. An email account isn't hard to come by if you look. Give pointers, but don't do the work for her. My daughter's computer is currently down, and I told her she has to fix it herself. I'm tired of doing the maintenance, and I won't do it anymore. When she wants a computer bad enough, she'll take the time to figure the problem out.

It ranks slightly under killing your parents with a sledgehammer, then going back to playing video games.

I'd be PISSED if my brother did something like that, knowing that the kid didn't want her parents to know.

 

[Gothgar]

at least it wasnt myspace?

We'll see how the OP feels when she runs off with a child molester.

When we allowed our son, about 14 at the time to get a Facebook account, his grades tanked. I hope the same doesn't happen to your niece, the parents find out and then are pissed at you for not thinking about the effects of these stupid-ass social sites. And yes, we ended up blocking the site and his grades got better.

It is wrong to do that behind her parents' back.

 

[DrunkenSano]

Pedobear is pleased and excited now. You've done a very bad thing.

I agree.

VERY wrong. And if the OP was in my family, he would be ostracized.

That's pretty fail... if it was your brother/sister that you helped setup an account for it would be a bit different....
