Question about an online game site for KIDS

Miniv · Nov 26, 2007

My 10 year old daughter has come across a game site called ......King.com

It's similar to Grab.com (from what I can see). Initially Grab.com was innocent enough until they developed a page where players could start communicating to each other. And now king.com has a place for "friends"!

We banned Brianna from grab.com this summer........and last night she innocently showed me a couple of pictures of two of her "friends" on -- king.com. I told her to immediately DROP THEM. They were both adult men!

What the heck is going on!!! Isn't there a site where a kid can play some silly games without having the opportunity to communicate with other players??? In my opinion, that opens a can of worms!

I also am worried that these "friends" could somehow trace people..........As far as I can tell Bri has not given out any personal info because the games she plays limits communication, but still........this stuff scares me.

MA I let Kris play games from miniclip and mostfungames................he does not sign up or join "friends" stuff. He uses my IM to chat with my sisters and a friend of mine. I also set him up with email that I oversee and know all his contacts and he is NOT allowed to give out his email unless I approve.

and right now the game hit of the season is elf bowling which is a download
