More than a quarter of eight to 11-year-olds who are online in the UK have a profile on a social network, BBC reports quoting research. Most sites, such as Bebo, MySpace and Facebook, set a minimum age of between 13 and 14 to create a profile but none actively enforce the age limit.Ofcom’s survey of 5,000 adults and 3,000 children found 49% of those aged between eight and 17 have a profile. Ofcom says parents need to keep an eye on what their children do online.
