Hello Summer,

I'm afraid I'm in Brisbane and I'm a lot older than you, but I thought I'd move your post back to the top, cos I'm sure theres someone in Perth who can talk to you.


Come on guys, get your kids out of bed!!!!

Love
Pollyana, the wicked witch of the East!

Personally I had hoped that this thread would just drift into the archives but it keeps getting pushed up front.

This thread sounds innocent enough but I wonder how many of you share my concerns that a minor of 10 years is advertising for friends over the internet. In this day and age it is an unfortunate truth that the internet can be a very dangerous window for some very unscrupulous people - as we are all too aware. I have seen ‘first hand’ how a friends 13 year old was corrupted over the internet by such a person – fortunately that situation was discovered at an early stage.

I am writing this out of concern and would not wish Jan to be deprived of making new friends in Australia, however we have no knowledge of parental consent or supervision so would not advise that she uses the internet for the purpose of meeting people (however innocent).

PS: I have notified the moderator of my concerns previous to writing this reply

Regards

Scot

hi scot,
while i would share your concerns I think if you do a search under 'jen n summer' I think you will find jen is mum, theres a dad in there too....so I would imagine summer is posting this with either or both her parents guidance and consent. wouldbe expats kids do look at the forum, after all they are emmigrating too.
having said that, it is very nice to know there is someone out there who shows concern enough to report it to the moderator.

Hiya Summer

I left a message with your Mum if you come over to www.pomsinperth.com and go on the teenies bit there loads and loads of girls and boys about your age!!!!Laura is 14 and goes on so get Mum/Dad to log on there for you and I guarantee you can chat for ages, Laura has made lots of new friends going and already out there...I will get her to send you a message once over there.

Oooh sorry to all those on expats site but Poms is good for kiddies!!!

Hi Kath,
Glad someone was able to help her find a friend. Full marks to Scot for being cautious, though I had seen the name before, hence wanted to help.
Horrible world we live in when we have to be so suspicious, isn't it.
