I'm not sure if your kids are into this website or not, but upp until today, my 10 yo dd was big time. I falsely assumed it was closely monitored, kind of like webkinz, but unfortunately that is not the case. One of the people that visited her profile posted this very frightening chain letter message on there. It basically said that if she didn't repost it to all of her accounts, she would be killed in her sleep (wonderful). Just wanted to give a heads up if your kid's on there and you're not familiar with it.

I am prety sure that there is a place on there to report inapproiae messages.Gabby did once because someone was swearing on there.Gab got a text like that a few times on her phone,she showed i to me then we dileaed.Kind of like the modern day chain letter that tells you if you do not send out so many copies gloom and doom will over take your life.hat said if youu can report it I would since that is not the place to post such garbage.I do think it is monitored but you can still pretty much type what you want,I am sure if you report it it will be removed if you did not do it all ready.Something like that would be scary to a 10 year old who does not realize it is just garbage.

I did send a message to customer service. I couldn't find an exact place to send reports, but when I looked up inappropriate content, a bunch of sample questions came up. It then said if none of these answered your question, please click here. So...hopefully they got it. Needless to say, my dd had no problem with me deleting her account.
