Absolutely not. I'd just ignore the thing. If you ignore it, you've got plausible deniability. If you reject it or block the user, then they know that you saw it and actively turned them away. Who knows what that would make someone think. I don't want the trouble.

I'm on FB. I've got a few relatives, a couple of old HS buddies, and a bunch of old coworkers on it. I'm there for the networking. I'm rarely active. You can make yourself fairly private. If I get a request from someone that I don't want to be "friends" with, I just ignore it.

Btw, he's 12. Minimum age for FB is 13. When I saw that and asked her about it, she folded her arms, smiled and said "yeah, so?"

Become friends with your son. Make sure he knows that you don't always check it. You can set up so that if someone posts something specifically to you, you get an email. That way you won't miss anything from your son. My main reason for thinking that you should become friends with him is that you would be able to more readily see what he's doing on facebook and address it with him if you see something that you aren't happy about.
