Many times I see questions about UNKNOWN PEOPLE saying that they are 12, or 14 ~~~ do you really know that??? Doesn't it sound more realistic that this could be A CHILD MOLESTER OR A RAPIST looking for VICTIMS??? I don't know if any of you have seen DATELINE or other news shows, but there are many on-line PREDATORS that POSE-AS young people (male and female) and are really some OLD, FAT, BALD PERVERT , that has prior criminal-record for entrapping young people on-line!! Please be careful!!! Don't believe an avatar, or even a picture!!! You can NEVER verify anyone's TRUE IDENTITY here! And, please don't EVER meet someone....

I'm 15 (honestly) and I when it comes down to chatting on line, I mostly talk to people I know. When I'm not talking to people I know, I never give personal information. The conversation between people I don't know is just: hi, how you doing, I'm fine, that's nice and then bye. And that's because it really hard to trust people. You show great concern, and that's appreciated!

I think it's safe because it's not like you're chatting one-on-one with someone, you're chatting with everyone in your catergory. No one that is interested in meeting an underage girl is gonna talk to a girl in particular where everyone else can see the conversation. They would most likely get reported then. You'd have to IM someone before it could possibly be unsafe. And even if you did IM someone and was chattin one-on-one with them, the only way it could be unsafe is if the victim gave away personal information like their full name or where they live or something like that. But so far we are all safe. Another thing, this isn't exactly a chatroom. If it was, IM's would be popping up all the time requesting one-on-one chat. We're just answering and asking questions here. Besides, chatting here is way more interesting than chatting in some chatroom. There's a whole more to chat about than "you know". And you can understand what people are saying better. Half the time when I have been in a chatroom, I wasn't real clear on what they were saying because it was mostly abbreviations and acroynms. This site, trust me, it's safe.

chatting is safe, more here because your email isnt disclosed...anyone who would go meet someone because of this site is stupid...so if u use your common sense youll be fine.....i mean, its a general rule, not just in chatting environment, also in streets, malls etc...USE UR BRAIN or face the consequences. Simple as that....you arent gonna ban people from going in public because there could be a predator lurking around, would you?

FYI - sometimes it's police who are posing as the underaged person so the pervs are kept in check..
You really have the pervert's features right down to a "T". Minors can feel safe so long as they don't identify location.

Maybe but I'm older and I can see that you don't get any identifying information from this site and you don't have to put your picture up. It's just for asking questions. Why put up something like that just to scare parents?
Why aren't you in the Yahoo chat rooms?? That's where to go nab a kid.

I know where you are going with this and I understand your point, but OLD, FAT and BALD does not NECCESSARILY add up to PERVET!
They are out there, but let's not label all old, fat and bald people.

Chatting is safe. Just don't meet people if you don't trust it.
