  Now we have caused pain to someone who was seeking support and was hurting. Regardless of a person’s age, state or being, they are entitled to seek solace. We just denied someone that…this is not our most proudest hour.

  JFYI.......this young child was not seeking "solace" at this particular time. She was not denied that......had she asked, she would have received what she needed. People, try not to assume what happened or what was talked about if you weren't in the chat room at that particular time.

  Wow.......lots of posts, lots of thoughts. First.....let me say......I was stuck in my Central Time Zone, and appreciate that it was brought to my attention that not everyone is in my timezone.

  I have been thinking of this all morning. Utopia, I just had the best interest of your child at heart. My intentions were not to belittle her or make her feel bad. I am very passionate about children and knew the reality of how the chatroom can be at times.

  I completely understand what she must be going thru......and also you as a mother. Being a parent is very difficult and challenging at times. I know what it is like to want to help your child thru any difficult time they may be going thru. My suggestion, and take it was you may, is to help your daughter find support. Monitor her support systems. There is wealth of wonderful people on this board......people that really care and will be there to listen. But.......there are also a lot of people on this board that aren't the best support for such a young child. At 12, children are very impressionable........add on top of that a hurting child and there is a lot of potential for harm.

  I have met people on this board that I would encourage my child to talk to if she needed to. There is also some people that I have met that I wouldn't want my child reaching out for support to.

  I would love to see a spot on Simon's board for children/teens. Of course, it would have to be closely monitored.

  You completely misunderstood my post.

  At the particular time your daughter was in there, the room did not need to be toned down. Talk was of war and such. There was another conversation about how long someone had been out of dubdom.

  My point is this..........the possiblity of night time chat being inappropriate for children is high. I simply asked her her age and commented my concern that this was the place for her. Plus, I am not your babysitter-it isn't my responsbility to tell the room to tone down because some adult decided to allow their 12 year old in there.

  To those that say........"the choice is up to mom......she knows her children"........to that I say boloney. If I saw a child in a situation where it could become inappropriate, I will express my concern.

  Can't we just try to tone down the chat when the younger ones come in? I have no problem with that myself.

  I agree. Wouldn't it be nice if we knew when children are in the chat room? I was not aware until someone BESIDES this child mentioned it to me. The chat was not anything that wasn't appropriate at the time......nothing that she would have been uncomfortable. BUT.....there are times that that does happen. How about keeping your children there during the day? Avoid nightime when the possibilities of "adult conversation" are likely.

  utopian.......mother to mother, if my child was in a chat room, you knew she was young and you knew that at times that the talk wasn't appropriate for someone her age-would you turn away and not say anything? Would you not show concern? Good Lord.......don't you think that XW and I, both being mothers of girls the same age feel some sort of maternal instincts? If you would turn away.....shame on you! We were just showing concern for a young child. A CHILD! And for all you others that bawk at my concerns.....I can't believe that you think nothing of it! Would you carry on the same conversations face to face w/a child? There is a time and a place and I was just expressing concern over that.

  Now......to address your daughter's needs after leaving the borg.......my God, woman.......do you think her being unchaperoned in an adult chat room is the most healthy action for her? So many other healthier choices for you to help her make. She is a CHILD........she needs to be in an age appropriate situation.

  Anyone who has been on this board long, knows that daytime chat is completely different than nightime chat. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. What you do w/your child is up to you.......what I do w/my child is up to me. BUT........I will not set back and not say anything. It is my opinion, I feel STRONGLY about it and am entitled to express it.

  BTW, your daughter WAS not attacked. You are probably dealing with emotions of a 12 year old......
