Along the same lines (and I agree with you all), read the following link:

This week, a "child", who admitted she 12 years old e-mailed me, talked about my Golden Retrievers, told me where she lives, her name, etc. And asked me if I wanted her to send me a picture. I thought about it, told her that I have a young daughter, and I certainly wouldn't want my daughter e-mailing strangers and especially wouldn't allow her to send out her picture. So my suggestion was that she talk to her mother about it first, and then if her mother agreed and contacted me, then we could correspond. By the way, this child found me on the MSN Golden Retriever site. Anyway, first thing this morning, I had an e-mail that said she wouldn't be able to talk with me anymore because her mother told her she couldn't talk with strangers.. AMEN!!!!
