RE: [OT] MSN Messenger

Keith,



I think it is difficult to stop her using it.



All my younger cousins use it to chat with their friends, but it is very
easy for a random person to start talking to you unless your daughter takes
the actions to block them and only make herself to be visible to her
friends. But would she do that?



Unfortunately it seems that you have to take the initiative and monitor the
people who your daughter talks to. I believe that you can record the
conversation logs etc. I don't believe there are any automatic ways of
restricting access.

Hi All,



My 9 year old asked today if she can use MSN Messenger as a number of her
friends at school use it. To be honest I've always avoided it as I thought
it was like a seedy chat thing, don't ask me why. Anyway I don't really
know
much about it but I'm sure you guys will, would it be safe for her to use,
or could anyone start chatting to her?  Any advice greatly appreciated.



Keith
