Facebook’s own policy states that members should not be able to register until they are 13 years old.

Commissioned by National Family week, the survey highlighted the importance many girls are placing on interacting online.

Focussing on the perceptions of children and parents of family life, 3,000 parents and 1,000 children were surveyed across the United Kingdom.

Facebook was seen to be more influential than television or magazines, coming in the top three most important things in their life together with friends and family.
