Is it worth it?

Why do they need to bother with msn, facebook etc at 9 years old?

My point exactly surely at 9 they should be playing football in the garden or whatever not bothering with whos on msn or others

Like other things that their parents do and they are curious about, I would advise waiting until they are older.

lol i feel sory for facebook customer support who probably get loads of emails from dim witted parents complaining that their kids accounts have been deleted because they cant see how stupid they are been and how innapropiate their parenting is

i have seen babys with accounts on facebook which could be seen as a good place for a pedo to go look at some kiddy totty

( they appeared when i was searching for somone )

how much of a dimwit would you have to be to set up a netwrorking site account for a baby for gods sake ,they cant read,they cant talk,they cant write,they cant play scrabble or any of the other games on facebook and their details are already on the internet years before they reach the age where they can make that mistake for themselves

yup not right in the head some folk lol

i bought my son a laptop for christmas and informed him that if i so much as get a sniff that he has been anywhere near any networking sites what so ever i would take the laptop off him permanantly and he knows i know enough about computers to keep a check on him even when hes at his mums

he is allowed 1 msn account as it is needed for his xbox live and i know who every single contact is on there is and the password for the account

when he gets to age 16 he can start having internet privacy but untill that day comes i say what is allowed and what isnt

im not over paranoid about the internet i simply keep a very close eye on my kids activity on it and besides its upto me to fix his laptop if he gets it infected by god knows what from these sort of sites
