You all know by now that I have a wonderful 11 year old daughter Miranda. What you may not know is that she has an email address, and being the responsible parent I am, I watch it like a hawk.
Good thing.
Luckily, I have yet to encounter any outbound email issues. Inbound is another story entirely. What's the problem, you ask? Forwards. Its not really the other kid's fault, because I don't think they really know what they are sending along. The real problem is the idiot adult that thought forwarding some crap chain letter that talks about how you will meet the man of your dreams to an 11 year old is actually OK. Oh, and did I mention references to the men I have "had" before also being part of this email? Then there was the one about the girl who killed her parents, was committed, killed all her doctors and then contemplated killing themselves.
I'm not kidding.
So we try and talk to the parents. They have no clue what is going on. Did I mention that this latest one was sent with the intro of "I'm kind of freaking out here", the kid's mom was copied, and there was not recall of the message, no attempt to reach the parents of the recipients, nothing. What is wrong with these people?
End of rant. Watch your kid's email. Please! Don't make me block your kid's email address. I have already blocked three separate email addresses for the kid mentioned above.
