As far as you must be 18 to enter chat rooms, eula and all that stuff, allow me to cough b.s. :) If that was the case that fact would be clearly posted somewhere so everyone would know, not hidden in a eula where less 1% of Yahoo users know. Show me someone under 18 who reads eula and I'll show you someone who has no friends. Yahoo puts that in the eula to try and cover there buts when a sexual predator (or even an incident not so serious) happens, but even Yahoo knows the value of the eula in that case, worthless. And other laws etc. come into play for Yahoo to protect themselves. Of course I go by the following, if parents are doing their jobs sexual predators etc. wouldn't be such a problem, but unfortunately in many instances that's not the case. Actually in many cases parents just need to be educated on chat programs and teenagers :) Some actually thing there teenagers are smart enough to be safe online. As far as being 14 and in a chat room, what I saw when I was there was just fine, she goes on and chats with friends she's made world wide and chatting with 8 or so people at the same time, makes a chat room a good place. Straight A student, she volunteers to help other students after class hours, volunteers at the local hospital (helping children who are there) etc. So I would let her too. Of course if I get my way she will be switching over to paltalk where the chat rooms can be moderated by parents. As for the bars, that's a guy thing and some of us did that at 17 or so :) --- In [email protected], "LNVTM1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > At 14, she shouldn't be in ANY of the chat rooms anyhow.
