We have a 15 yr old daughter who just signed up for Facebook. No, I don't plan to friend her, but my wife and I do plan to ask her to see what's going back and forth, from her and her friends. (On occasion, not often, and not making a fuss over it)

The day after she signed up, she got a friend request from a friend's mother, and asked me how to respond. I think that she should reject the request, and feel the invitation was inappropriate.

My question - Is it appropriate for an adult to want to friend her teen's IRL friends, or is this a bit out of line? It strikes me as a bit creepy.

Update - daughter agreed to put her account on a private setting, and I'll work with her to verify it's set. She reported back that multiple friends have other friend's moms following, so I'll admit it is less creepy than I originally thought. Now I just think these mom's need to be less in their kid's faces. I appreciate the feedback here.
