Mum's catching up with me...on Facebook

1) What were the reasons given by Facebook parent , Rashida Husian, when she requests access to the networking sites and also to what her children had put online?

Useful for keeping track of her children and their friends.
To keep in touch with them.
She also leaves them words of encouragement when she feels they need some.

I think it is not a good idea as if concidently your parent does not like any of your friend, your parent will stop you from making friends with them but still to some certain extent, i think that it is good a idea because as if anything happens to you, your parent will know where and how to look for you.
