YES!!!!! Be very concerned, so concerned that you make sure that she is not planning on any trips with friends you have never met.\nFor some strange reason all kids now a days think that they are the only one with Parents who are over bearing and just don't understand them, so they get on these computer and start talking to these other so called kids which are not kids, sometimes.\nI am not sure where her computer is in your home but, to be honest it should be in a place that the whole family shares, like in the family room, that way you & your husband can monitor her plus it may be hard to do but, you need to put a time limit onher time on the computer.\nSometimes as a parent we have to put limitations on our children that they think is being harsh but, it's not \nWe do these things because we do love them and want them to be safe, If I were you I would explain to your husband how children girls & boys are disappearing from their homes on a hourly bases all over the world because some parents think that their children are safe because they are home on the computer.\nI know you may feel like you are in a postion that is uncomfortable now but, you may be saving your daughter  from a far worst fate then just not being on her computer at all hours of the night.

it is funny how dangerous a computer can be. I would tell your wife what happened because it sounds like you or someone who used the computer (maybe the kids) went to a site or did a search that allowed that message to get through. \n\ndont ever reply back because it wont stop. \n\ntry getting a block on the computer, it might help.

My daughter went through this not very long ago.  It hurt her very much.  Why are girls so evil at this age.  The girl continued to call and my daughter has finally realized that she just enjoys drama.  She finally told her so- called best friend not to call and she no longer wants to have her friendship.  Since, this girl has gossiped and tried to have others ignore my daughter.  Didn't work since they have all realize that she is a phony..

Me and my 9 year old do this yahoo together. It isn't always appropriate but I have learned that my son already KNOWS some of this stuff!!! \n I skip over the dumb questions that he shouldn't view. He is also learning things. For example: He wanted to know why people call abortions murder, what is a atheist, why would this lady stay with a man that hits her. etc.\n So my Lil man is learning a few things they don't teach in school and things I never thought to teach him.\n I just filter the questions like I do his t.v viewing time!!\n Have fun!

Awww that's so sweet honey!! I think that it's easy for people to dismiss the validity of others in cyberspace....but at the other end of the computer is a human being, I think it's perfectly sweet that you think of your YA friends.  I have met some fantastic people on here and I don't count them as less valuable because it's the internet.  (((((hug)))))

Instead of taking away all chat rooms why don't you teach your 13-year-old how to use the Internet and chat rooms safely.  Find websites with kid friendly chat rooms and tell them if they want to chat, only to chat here and never EVER give out personal information like name, address, or telephone number.  Explain to them that on the Internet anyone can be who they want to be and just because someone sends you a picture that doesn't mean that picture is really them.\n\nAlso make sure you put the computer in the most public place you can find, usually the kitchen or living room is a good choice.  As long as there is always someone coming or going so they can check in on your child and make sure they're not in inappropriate chat rooms or visiting inappropriate sites.\n\nBy blocking all chat rooms and making them forbidden it's only going to make them more appealing in your 13-year-old's eyes and he/she won't have the skills to use them safely.  He/she will find a way to use them either at a friends house, at school, or at the library.\n\nInternet safety is a skill that will last a lifetime and it's better that you teach it sooner rather than when it's too late.

Careful what you ask for here. How can you know for sure that the people who may want to be your "friend" are really your age? There are so many predators online just waiting for a chance to get in contact with a child. Please be careful as to what you say to anyone here or anywhere online for that matter. I swear you kids on here worry me. God bless and keep you safe.

Say this:\n"If you hate me so much, is Hatorade your favorite?  Also when you say you are so ballistic with me then why do you even take the time to write me an email?  Would you stop being a two year old toddler?  Seems like you have nothing better to do so stop hating and back off, because girl you ain't seen nothing yet!"\n\n               You go girl, I know you can do it!  Fire at her and she really ain't seen nothing yet so throw her way off course and let's see how that loser reacts!

I totally completely agree with you. a few minutes after i got on the site, i was amazed at the questions being asked. i was like, "this is unbelievable." lots of them were very inappropriate. lots of them were also needing-help questions. like homework, friends and family, but their should be a limit to all this. \ni like to answer appropriate questions, and ask them too. but i stay away from and ignore inappropriate ones. if my mom were to see all the stuff on this website, she would seriously flip and ban me from this site. \n\npersonally, i believe there should be separate yahoo answers: adult, teenage, 9-14-year-olds, and 7-8-year-olds. \nfor your little one, the 8 year old, i suggest you to block this site in case she has seen it, and tell her about the dangers of being on this site.\n\nanyway, i completely agree with you, and sometimes i know parents can be over-protective, but they are mostly right.\nletting children explore the internet and it's useful resources is one thing, and going on sites that you may accidentally give out information about yourself to strangers is another. completely.\n\ngood luck!\n(you are one of the most caring moms i have heard from. :) ---i'm glad you brought upn this topic so people can see your point of view and others about this site)

Then talk to her about why she shouldn't use it, and don't let her access it.  Yahoo does remove obscene questions, but it's up to you to make sure that your daughter understands why she shouldn't use it.  If you just tell her "no because I said so", she's more likely to try to use it on her own anyways just to see what the fuss is about.  \n\nAt any rate, a service that preported to be 16+ would probably attact even more bad people, because they'd know that's where all the underage kids are hanging out.

Web TV acts like a PC in some ways but has real problems dealing with a lot of the dynamic content found in sites such as photo-sharing sites.  Plus, she will still have to connect to the internet and navigate to the specific site just as you would if you were on a PC.\nReally, you'd be better off creating a DVD slide show for her and sending her it in the mail if you are too far away.

Hi Jessica.  First of all, I love the name Jessica.  Second, I live in Indiana but a little too old for you. Third, be very careful about giving out too much info about yourself on the internet.  I hope you find some nice people to become friends with.  bye

Thank you from a mom's viewpoint.  I think it's lack of supervision.  The computer may be in an area of the home that's is shut off from the adults.  Also I don't think some parents know what type of questions are being asked.

I like to go online as a woman from time to time and can't believe all the whacked out guys who come on to me like I am a piece of meat for their pleasure.  It's really disgusting.  I am thinking of lowering my age down to 14 and trying that for a while.  I'd like to get two guys to come and meet me at the same place at the same time and see what happens, or to give them my address and tell them my mommy and daddy are not home and to please come to my house and play nasty with me... only my house would turn out to be the local police department. Moral: you never know to whom you are talking in a chat room or on instant messenger. Pedophiles get what they deserve.
