It seems to me that demanding a password to your account would be an invitation to hijack it. They could accomplish what they wanted just by demanding that you "friend" them, same condition which I put on my kids when I allowed them to sign up for social network accounts.

I can see what they are doing, what they are posting and who their friends are. I do not need to hijack their identity.

My employer has “friended” me. It’s required in the securities industry to ensure we aren’t using fraudulent or misleading marketing practices outside of their supervision.

I absolutely would not give anyone my username and password.

Get your kids password so you can truly check what they are posting. They can “hide” any specific status update from anyone they want through the privacy settings. So you may only be able to view, say, 97% of what your child posts, and you would never even notice the unseen 3%.

Kids know how to do this. Many parents do not.
