[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least 13.  Allowing your kid to lie and violate TOS is a really bad message.  [b]They will think they won't need to follow rules if they don't want to[/b].

Not to mention all the social issues she isn't ready for.

Parents really need to [b]do the right thing even if others aren't.  Teach the right lesson.[/b][/quote]

Different people think different things are the right things to do. You understand that, right? And my kid is not so simple-minded as to think everything is black and white - she knows you need to think about WHY things are rules and laws. There USED to be a rule that black people had to sit in the back of a bus, and give up their seat to white people. Everyone blindly followed that until someone finally said "There's no good reason for this. Let's change it; I'll start." I could give five hundred more examples. Just because my 12 yr old uses Instagram, it doesn't mean she's taking molly and cutting school. [/quote]

So you're framing a web site's legal terms of service as a CIVIL RIGHTS issue?  Seriously?  NO.  It's really simple.  This is a site that has very clear, very specific rules for members.  Members must be 13.  If your child is not 13, you are teaching him/her that it is okay to lie and to violate someone else's rules for their space.  It's a really, really destructive lesson.[/quote]
