[quote=Anonymous]I have a 4th grade boy and have been navigating this with FB Messenger Kids for a few years. I carefully monitor who is allowed to be his “friend” on kids messenger. Only kids I know are allowed to be his friend and message him. I know some of his friends are on the huge text chains (actual, real texting or IMessage - my kid doesn’t have a phone and his tablet is connected to my account and my family account) of 20+ kids. And that’s where they’re getting into trouble. Two of his friends are mad at each other because friend “A” told girl “C” that friend “B” likes her and she said she didn’t like him like that and then A was gloating about it. Apparently. This was shared via screen shot with my kid on an individual message. But at the same time, doesn’t that happen in school too? I know it happened in the dark ages when we were kids.

Texting and voice chat is how they communicate in games and stuff. I don’t think it’s a totally bad thing. I know some of his friends are stuck at home when parents are working and being on kids messenger voice chat while playing whatever game is at least keeping them out of trouble and keeping them occupied. At the same time the huge text chains are a no go for me right now. [/quote]
