[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 11 yr old has had an Instagram account since she was 9. I don't really monitor it. She's not posting titty shots or anything. It's all cute pics of dressed up cats and shit. Or How-To videos (though maybe she does those on Youtube?) for art projects. [/quote]

Why do you think it's okay to teach your kids that they are allowed to break the rules?  The rules of the site clearly say you have to be 13.  It's not PG-13, with parental guidance (which you are not providing anyway).  Do you know what comments your child is making on other's photos?  Do you know what comments people are making on hers?

God, parents like you SUCK.[/quote]

I think it's fine to teach my child that some rules are okay for an adult to decide when to break. Sometimes we have to cross the street to get to our incoming train, no cars are coming and the light is red. I make the decision to cross the street to make our train. Yes, I know that the comments she makes are along the lines of "Cute!" but in general she rarely comments at all. Yes, she tells me when she gets comments outside of the norm. She's not posting duck-faced selfies. I just looked, and her latest pic is of her little stuffed panda, propped in front of a miniature easel, that has a picture of a stuffed panda on it. This is the type of thing she's doing. This is why I'm not worried. [/quote]
