I'm 23/F.
I was on Facebook today and was thoroughly surprised to see that his cousin had posted a note titled "I Cost $(dollar amount) A Night!" Turns out it's one of those survey things where you fill out a checklist and get points for various things, add them up and then use the number in the title.
Why is this a problem? She's 11. I really don't think she knows what it means. Her mother really doesn't monitor her Facebook usage, and nobody has said anything about it yet. I asked my fiance to text the girl's mom and let her know, but he thinks it'll make us look bad if we do.
What course of action should we take? Are we reading too much into it? (link)

My family does this stuff too, little cousins 13-17. I sent them a message telling them how trashy this looks and how it could screw things up for them, and I think you should talk to your cousin directly. Only if she does it again would I escalate and talk to the girl's mom. She deserves a chance to make her own decisions about her information, to start controlling what she does online. If you go behind her back she'll only be more secretive, and that'll make it easier for her to lose sight of what's dangerous to share and what's not.

Unfortunately she's not my cousin or else I'd be a lot more comfortable stepping in. It would ultimately be up to my guy to say something. I don't think she's being intentionally trashy. She's a pretty naive kid. Thank you!
