Hmm I was reading the post and I do agree in a way. When I first joined in 2007 I didn't know what I was in for. I thought it was gonna be a fun thing and role play with people until I started getting those pms from different people who wanted to cyber. I simply said no and left the room cause I wasn't really into all that due to something that happened to me when I was very young. After awhile people stopped pming me for sex. You can control who you talk to by simply putting your status as Friends Only, messages on friends only as well. There is a lot of ways you can keep yourself and your child safe from cybers. I do recall watch you child when it comes to IMVU cause there are a lot of normal people on here who do like to cyber, but if you still want to be friend that person just tell them you aren't that type of person. You aren't interested. Like I said before you "CAN" control what happens.

I think parents are overreacting. On one hand, the Internet is a dangerous place no matter which website, and if you are going to use it, don't be an idiot and be aware that these things happen.

On the other hand, parents making such a big deal out of these things will only make it worse. If the child is exposed early to sex or replica watches, parents treating it like it's a plague or something horrible will only harm the kid.

I was exposed to porn and other things on the Internet from around age 11. It was addiciting, even though I had no idea what replica watch or what I was experiencing at the time, it was fun. I turned out completely normal. But I think if my parents knew and rebuked me how horrible and terrible those rolex replica watches are and never to go online again, it would have make things turn out a lot difference.

My name is Heather and I am 20 years old. I have had an IMVU account since I was about 16, give or take. Being an avid user of IMVU I am well aware of the content and I fully understand many parents fears about this chat software. It does contain alot of adult content, it is mostly unregulated, there are perverts, people who lie about their age and lots of other indiscriminate characters. However the fact of the matter remains that children are their parents responsibility.

In my opinion, there is no excuse for blaming IMVU when you allow your young children unrestricted access to the interent and not check up on them or ask what they are doing. To get access to the Adult Content, you must purchase AP (Access Pass). There are only a few ways to get AP and they all involve real money. Whether buying it online or getting a IMVU card from Walmart it still must be purchased. If you don't buy it, they can't access it.

As far as innapropriate chats, 18+ are not allowed in 17 and under rooms. And even if an adult impersonates a child (lies about their age on IMVU), your children have the ability and right to exit the chat room or Personal Chat and block that user. Simple as that. If they choose to stay in that inappropriate enviroment, knowing it is wrong, then you need to get on them. If you can't trust them, remove them from the internet.

They are your kids and your responsibility. If you do not want your kids accessing this software then block it. Put a password on your computer requiring administrative permission to download anything. That'll stop them in their tracks.

*gets off soap box* Okay, i'm done.

Let me start of by saying I have an IMVU account and have had one for the last 5 (?) years. I made my first one when I was 11 and have been playing it for a while now. Yes its going to be hypocritical of me to say this BUT GET YOUR KIDS OFF IMVU. If they are NOT the right age then they dont need to be on the site. Just because parents cant control their kids doesn't mean IMVU is an adult site. Yes, sometimes bad things happen or get leaked. Why blame IMVU when it's clearly not their fault.

Moral of the story: If your kids are still playing with barbies, Keep them off the internet.
