Is she in her bedroom in a bikini, or somewhere where "bikini attire" is the norm (like a beach or a pool)?

I personally don't see the problem if she's at the beach or the pool, as long as it isn't a risque (did I spell that right?) pose.

If she's in her bedroom, bathroom or the like, then yeah I be a little concerned.

If it were my 14-yr old stepdaughter, I would want to know!

I'm not a parent but I do have an 11 yr old niece. If I saw a picture of her in a bathing suit on myspace or Facebook, I'd tell her dad (her mother is a nitwit and would think it's cute). One would need super stringent privacy settings on FB in order for someone to not even see your profile pic and most 16yr olds do not do this.

Tell her parents. People copy and paste pictures ALL the time and then they start to float around unsavory websites.

I'm assuming it was a beach or pool since her hair was wet. I'm leaning toward what the others are saying. BTW...when I said skinny, I really meant gangly and no womanly shape. But she is only 16.

I don't think she has all of her privacy settings on. I had a friend log on today to look at it and she was able to access her picture too. Need to find a tactful way to let HM know about it and hope that HM didn't encourage DD to do it for publicity.
