I reckon she's ok as long as you keep a close eye on it. There are a lot of freaks out there. My girl has had a few random friend requests that could well have been freaks chancing their arm, but dont think it's fair to penalise the kid by not allowing her on the internet. | ||

 Feasting on humble pie. Member 51, 1692 posts SQ 227.5, BP 185, DL 272.5685.0 kgs @ 90.4kgs UnEq | Mark my daughter is also 7 and I have to agree with Tony. Just eliminate the danger completly and block it! She'll be miffed but she wont be groomed. Just think how you would feel if something happend  remember that when shes nagging you to let her on it | ||

 Head of Department, Ministry of Beards Member 580, 2634 posts SQ 210, BP 115, DL 266591.0 kgs @ 101kgs UnEq | the truth is any weirdo can sign up on social networking sites. children should be strictly supervised. fortunately most of these sites have built-in features to block certain users from contacting you, and usually have 'report' features where you can report potentially suspicious user activity to the administrators. it's best if kids are limited to communicating only with people they know 'in real life' e.g. their schoolfriends, if they talk to 'strangers' then monitor those conversations closely. most people are legitimate but there's always gonna be weirdos. | ||

 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | very different culture. in finland my little sister got pretty unsupervised internet access ages ago. She was on MSN with me from when she was 6 and had own computer with internet in her own room from 9 or 10 onwards. But of course she has been educated about possible dangers from the start. Then again, in this country kids dont even walk to school on their own... | ||

 When I have enough cash, I get a deep tissue. Member 465, 11029 posts SQ 240, BP 175, DL 302.5717.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | A definate no no IMO. Step daughter is 7 and she has been told no chance. Not just due to 'grooming' but also because she needs to be interacting with kids and people face to face, not just sat on her arse staring at a computer screen. People are f**king addicted to facebook and it really gets on my tits | ||

My daughter is 10 and constantly whines on about getting on facebook, no f**king chance! totally agree tony didnt wanna sound liek an old fart but i will never let my daughter go on till she a lot older. ive had my eyes open with my job an can be overcatious sometimes but i dont care i dont want that s**t with my daughter. what ever social group and no matter how much u supervise this country is full of paedophiles and they will network and groom anyone there clever f**kers. people need to be very careful and vigalante when it comes to children and computers with msn and facebook and online bullying and pornography some children are not children any more and have missed there childhood and gonna stright into adulthood which is damaging and very scary what children know about and see and what they can say | ||
