Is yahoo 360 safe for 11 year old girls?

Question

My pre-teenager wants to have a yahoo 360 but i dont know anything about it. Is it safe for her?

Answer 1

You need to be 18 or over to have a yahoo 360 account.

Answer 2

It matters where she goes, A lot of people can ask questions about s*x and stuff, but overall I think its safe.

Answer 3

yahoo 360 isn't suitable for 11year olds. when i was 11, i was just starting to use blogger. blogger is sorta safer cos it's harder to connected to strangers. xanga is also a better choice

Answer 4

I would say no. 11 year olds shouldn't even be on this site. Some of the questions have mature content and shouldn't be viewed by ones so young.

But the Yahoo! 360 is where you can display pictures, blog, make friends, etc. It's not really something an 11 year old girl should be doing.

Answer 5

Point blank, absolutely not.  Not only does yahoo rules state one has to be over 18, its not only the content that isn't appropriate, there are many not so nice ones out there, that could contact her, and things can become quite scary for adults, let alone a child. Been there, done that, can't imagine a child dealing with crazies on yahoo.

Answer 6

You must be 13 years of age to have a Yahoo email or any other type of account unless you set up a Yahoo Family Account..

If after you read the rules and decide it is something you wish to do.. then in my experience.. Yahoo is the safest place for a child that age to learn how to blog and have online relationships with decent people.. as in any online site that is open to the public.. even if you shut your privacy down to friends only and no mature content.. at times there will be a problem or two.. but that is also a lesson well learned if learned young. I do not like the IM for children that young.. it opens up too many ways for unsavory people who lurk on the IM's to be able to find a way into their accounts. the communications of comments and messages on the 360 are very good and should be sufficient. Always check browsing history after they get offline anyway.. it is not snooping.. it is being a responsible parent.

read Yahoo's rules on it...
