Facebook and Virtual Visitation Rights: The Internet And Parent-Child Relationships After Divorce

Would You Be Satisfied With Virtual Visitation?

NEARLY a year ago, my 70-year-old father sent me a friend request on Facebook. Though I publish my every movement -- from the mundane to the salacious -- on the site, and there might be things about my life that I wasn't sure I wanted to share with him, I seriously considered accepting his request. If only to make up for lost time or give him basic biographical information so our interactions wouldn't always feel like an awkward first date.
