I can see your argument but if you look at some of the questions teenages and sometimes younger ask and then read some of the answers that their peers give it's scarey.\n\nWe might have forgotten but when we were teenages we all thought we knew everything and in reality we knew very little. If there are youngsters asking questions it's got to be better to have some adults giving sensible factual answers than the ill informed answers others youngsters will give them.\n\nI like the idea of an adult only area where if youngsters or christians choose to go they couldn't complain about the topics of discussion or language used there. But would it deteriorate into a somewhat sleazy area much as the adult groups area has, which by the way Yahoo would love to remove completely? Which also brings up the problem of responsibility - Yahoo wouldn't want it because some holier than thou pillock would want to regulate it. \n\nGood idea though.

Like I said, if I found my kids asking questions like that here, I'm pulling the ethernet cord out of the f*cking wall.\n\nI think yahoo is trying to censor the answers section, but they really need to seperate sites, one for kids, and one for adults 18 and up.

yahooligans? i dont know if it's still around. you can always do a search for kid's forums? do you like little kids? hopefully you have a son or daughter.... i don't really see why you would want to expose your children to people out there. and it depends on what kind of forum. most forums are family friendly.

That's a great idea, Psych! I think there should be one for them, one for us and maybe one for everyone because sometimes the kids need to ask questions to adults that their own age group can't answer and we can ask minors questions about teenage views and opinions on certain issues. Hope you're doing well, Sweety.

yes there is freedom of speech but there are a lot of kids on this site, would you like for them to read a bunch of explicit sex stuff?\nwould you like someone trying to sell you stolen goods on here?\nwould you like it if all the obnoxious racist questions stay on?

Before the children told their friend, the site was mostly adults.\n\nYahoo believes that their numbers for Users is great but does not understand that right now for every 10 adults, there are 90 kids, some as young as 8 or 9 (the limit is 13).\n\nI'm 58 and have been here since last December when it started.

Well it seems you assume that everyone who restricts their kids' time on the internet is worried about what they will do or see there. How about this? Kids should GO OUTSIDE or PLAY WITH REAL PEOPLE THEY CAN SEE instead of spending all their time in front of a computer, or TV, or video games, their only interaction being with someone else's created fantasy and anonymous 'chat buddies' who can lie all they want. This teaches children nothing about social interaction with PEOPLE, gets them no exercise, and does nothing for their minds. I limited my kids because I wanted them doing something other than sitting on their asses staring at pixels all the time. When my kids were young, they got 1 hour TV a day, and 30 minutes on the computer. They spend more time with both these days, but they also spend a lot of time playing with real people and reading. That's how I want it to be. When they grow up, they can sit in front of the screen 24/7 if they want to, but somehow I don't think they will.

Yeah you can post here if you do it right.  But maybe they should make an 18 plus part of this for people who want adult question type answers.

You know in the Teen & Preteen  page, this is for adult here. Are you a juvenile? Asking questions of adults when you should be asking chilren your own age, on the childrens page.

if i was a parent i would never let children on the computer unless i was sitting next to them because there are too many bad sites.i would never let them in chatrooms because you do not know who the person is and if they are really a child

Yes, there should be a sex category with a disclaimer or something... and it shouldn't be censored... It's not like they don't keep track of our ages anyway.

I agree.  The filters aren't going to help much, as you have probably seen there are ways around that.  I suggest something like they do with chat, go by the age on the account then shoot it to one area that is for underage only and moderated.  That is how they did chat when they had the adult only rooms.  It would work here as well.

news of the weird is a good site.  check it out for yourself though before sending your son.  Though it's not an offensive site, not everything may be appropriate for young people.

I have to thank you, for the report? Your not insane, the insanity is the children's behavior. Yes they are children, and we as adults have to apply the American laws that are available. These children don't have the capacity or knowledge to act like an adult. You can't fake-it kiddy's. I have a petition to Yahoo right now with alot of support, and it isn't from the children that are trying to rule these pages. You have got to realize this is there method. I propose that you just keep speaking your mind. These children are outside of their forum anyway, Yahoo has a teen & preteen site in here right now. So keep turning them in, and complain as often as you can. Yahoo says that they don't want to supply another Myspace.com thats in court all the time. I don't want any advise from a minor, what would that make me? I am not on their level thank GOD. So please try to help them, and maybe there will be a happy medium, and we adults might be able to talk freely in here.

I think its a good idea to see an age just so some of us old guys who are on here dont get friendly with the kids. If I know Im talking to a kid I stop sometimes you dont know its a kid, there are adults on here too.\n I even went as far as going to the bottom of the answers page and asked them to consider a room for us older people.Yahoo has a suggestion link. \n I see your point cause there are weirdo's out there....but for me, if I know its a kid,,,I dont get involved\n ALSO IF THERE ARE ANYMORE people out therewho are older it would not hurt to send a comment to yahoo asking for a old people place. Adults and kids both would be happy if they had it

Definitely my thoughts exactly. In fact, I wrote to Yahoo Answers to separate the kids from the adults but didn't get a response.  No offense to the kids, but their questions make me gag...."I got a date...what should I do?", etc. It would really improve the game!
