If you let your son play pvz online, he will get players adding him anyway, my sons have their own GT but use mine on the one unless they on 2 player, im forever getting followers who i presume are children going by their gaming history. My gamertag has
my year of birth in it although maybe not obvious enough, it does make me uneasy knowing children are adding me just because i play a childs game (well my sons on my account)

I dont allow the use of a mic/kinect while they are playing as there is zero need, they can use one on minecraft if its a private game with children i personally know.

if they get friend requests on their account i go threw them and compare games any that have gta/cod type games get declined right away haha, im slightly brutal but unlike some parents the online gaming world can be awful

Sorry got on a bit of a rant there

I'm with Sword Style on this one. I would be very careful about connecting with random people to match up kids for play dates. It's one thing for us, as adults, to do this, since we can all spot a deviant from a good distance. I just don't trust people.
If he or she wants to play online, just shut off voice communication until you find people you know whose kids also play.

No I know, it's a pretty messed up world sometimes.

Me and my wife have had to constantly watch what the kid's are up to online.....Well not so much them but the different so called child safe websites, there are tons that are in no way safe and the amount of people that let their kids use them is just unbelievable.

Like i said before, the op will be fine as long as he keeps an eye on his kids and who they play with. At the end of the day it's only a gamertag, it's not like the op wants to swap real names and pictures of the kid's.

While I understand what you're saying... I have to disagree on one point. At the end of the day, it is most certainly not "only a gamertag". That person on the other end is a living,
breathing individual somewhere in the world. We've all heard horror stories about how a predator deceived his/her way into the life of some innocent kid. It all looks innocent until Mom and/or Dad lets their guard down.

The anonymity of the internet has made it incredibly easy to deceive... so now all that's required is the ability to gain trust and patience. Skills I would think most predators
have, or they wouldn't be predators to begin with.

JMPO, but just looking at this thread's title stopped me cold in my tracks... I could barely read the post for all the red flags that popped up.

It's definately down to parenting and having an interest in what your kids are actually doing.

Well I and a lot of my friends do monitor our kid's online thanks. I also let them play whatever they like as long as they behave and are polite. Funny thing is, it's normally the so called adults acting like morons in my experience..... Seem's ignorance
is everywhere.

John Dowding

No it's not just you. I was thinking the same thing.
