I agree parents should be monitoring like i said in a previous post.... I personally have both of my computers in the den... My oldest son has one in his own room, BUT it is not online lol.... the only time he has been allowed to play pogo is on the computer next to me.  But unfor.... he gets on in school the sites and where they go are not closely monitored like i do at home.

These darn teenagers in Sweet Tooth are driving me mad! I cannot believe the mouths of 13 year olds! They have already managed to say all cuss words plus GD.. Then right before I left, two of them started cyber sexing!! I went into another room and then another and they ARE all filled with teens like this! I am speechless.. Pogo needs to ban teens like this lol

Anyone agree or has had this happen to them?


hey now, im 18...pfft :P

Was that the Dateline about the perverted justice site??!?  I missed it...I go to that site all the time for the message boards and stuff ......It's a scary world out there on the net

Yes Dateline did another expose recently with perverted justice.  This time they brought in the local cops to arrest those guys and file charges.  One of the was a high school teacher.  The scary part about the teacher is the school district didn't find out until 6 days after his arrest (and after he returned to the classroom) The school district was quick to suspend the teacher without pay pending the outcome of the charges.

And how about all the kids that come into the "adult" rooms? You can't be sure who you're talking to half the time.I'm sure it's hard but there has to be a way for pogo,and other sites,to stop this.I agree 100% that it's poor parental supervision at the root of it...maybe have an age verification before they can join?
An Age Verification thats just sad... Me Being a Father of 2 1 9 and 1 12  as long as they dont repeat what they hear in a chat room i dont care because weather u know it or not they hear and more than likely do worse at school :)

Your welcome. Also, if you really want to know what your kids are up to there are a number of programs that will track your children's activities. It will tell you where they've been and even make logs of IM chats as well. There are a lot of sickos out there and you know what they say..... An onuce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. O0

The sadest thing of it all, is why are the parents not monitoring it???  ::)

I agree COMPLETELY ... I watched Dateline last night, and even tho my girls are 7 and 5 it'll be a cold day in h-e-double hockey sticks  before theyre allowed to "chat"

Was that the Dateline about the perverted justice site??!?  I missed it...I go to that site all the time for the message boards and stuff ......It's a scary world out there on the net
yes it was, and boy was it scary. I'm just glad that my kids are grown, but if they weren't they would be strictly monitered on here.


lol we're going totally off topic......but check out their website......www.pervertedjustice.com  it's a greatsite and has loads of info for parents on how to help your kids stay safe and stuff on the net.

My son is 6 years old, and enjoys playing on my Pogo account.  However, when he is on I am sitting right next to him watching tv and chat is off.  He can't read yet, and he has autism so he can't type but I still supervise his actions, and will until he is old enough to get out of my house.   :)
