To delete dd's Bebo account?

I just discovered dd, 11, had set up an account.
Her name (which is unusual), village, hobbies, pictures of her and her friends were on there, plus some comments she'd posted about herself, describing herself as 'sexii'.
She wouldn't know what that meant, and she had set security so that only friends could see it.
But the minimum age for Bebo is supposed to be 13.
Anyway, while she was in the bath, I've deleted the lot as I think it just makes her a potential target for sexual predators.
I'll sit down and talk to her when she's in her pjs about why it's appropriate and why I've deleted the account - but aibu?
(I spoke to one of the other girls' mums who was completely unaware of her dd's account - they must've set them up while at friend's house because our PC is in the hallway and very public).

You did the right thing, when it comes to young girls, and the internet you certainly cant be too careful.
Are you sure she isnt on MySpace? Facebook?
Dont want to worry you, but a hell of a lot of people are.
