Surf any social networking website and you'll see lots of badly taken profile pictures, but it isn't every day that you see one of a young woman with a chest exposed.

STOMP reader Roo, chanced upon the image when he was browsing through Facebook, a popular website among teens.

He then wrote in to the citizen jounalism website, questioning the use of such images especially on sites frequented by the young.

From the screenshots submitted by the reader, it seems Roo first chanced upon the questionable image on the "Suggested Friend List" page of Facebook.

The page shows a random list of Facebook users whom one's friends have on their buddy list, and whom the current user might know or be interested to add.

The profile picture itself shows a young woman with long, dark hair, reclining on a sofa. She is wearing a black top that was unbuttoned and no bra, leaving her chest exposed.

Said Roo of the image he chanced upon,"For a networking site like Facebook with so many young members, I think this picture is way too sexy and revealing.

"I don't think it's even a real picture of the user!

"This again proves that parents shouldn't let their children go online unsupervised."
