Should we have age restriction for this form - Page 3

I am a mother of 9 and 15 yr old. We are in uk. My 9 yr still cannot bear to see romantic scenes and hides his face. The content that we share here is meant for an adult mind and sensibilities and a child's brain should not read that as that confuses him before he is ready. I would be horrified if my 9 yr old is reading such stuff. His reading content is also filtered to be for his age group. The same applies to the online games that he plays as there are so many paedophiles who are hunting little kids.

who told i am discussing contents which i cannot do

discussing about love at this age is too young. It is not about you, i was concerned seeing 10 year old discussing in this forums.it has somuch of Adult content or topics way too high for young innocent minds like yours . It was not to offend you. Another point is you couldnot differenciate our concern and thought we were pointing at you( which was not the intention) which we were not. Why would we want to upset 10 year old kid, we defnitely would not.. :)

I personally think its next to impossible thing.
Since this is a virtual place, where we all are unware about each other's identities. There is absolutely no guarantee about anything said by anyone. Its all about the trust.

Even if the site is restricted as 18+ , its not a big deal to lie about age because again, there is no proof of the age we put here. In fact no one does put it.

I believe its the call of parents to keep their kids and environment around them safe. And also, a kid should know whats good for their age [ I did know what should I go for in my childhood... hehe trying to be funny but thats true]

I, in the first place dont get how parents allow phones in this age!

PS::: One more thing is, I still prefer cartoons over tv serials [LOL] . Atleast they dont annoy as much as serials do now.

I agree that parents play the biggest role is protecting their children. However, as a social responsibility the minimum this forum site can do is display the minimum age requirement at the time of signing up. This will deter quite a few as then will know that they are doing something that they should not be.

Even I feel that we need age restriction here like atleast 15+
There is so much adult stuff, violence etc that we discuss here
But I don't know how effective it would be, fb id or mail id for confirmation?
But that too can be easily made na?

Like everyone said, it's just too early for 10 year olds to watch these type of shows. Daily soaps have too much of negativity and regressive content and it can easily affect the young minds. Also kids shouldn't talk about love and romance at this age. But that's not enough. People here on IF can be really mean and nasty at times. TV shows forums are still fine, but in Bollywood forum fanwars happen daily. Its just not a good place for kids. They cannot handle such negativity. Hell, I'm 24 and I still watch some cartoons and small kids have started watching saas bahu shows. Makes me feel ashamed,lolz.

Definitely. I remember we used to have a 14 yr old around earlier and we used to tiptoe around certain topics.

There cannot be a serious restriction pulled up on any forum I myself joined IF when I was 15. QH forum had really mature stuff (some). But it did not effect me, true that I was uncomfortable with the writings of some but I had a choice to not read the story.

10 yr olds should not be left unsupervised online. Not done. I'm a mom and no way is my kid coming here to talk about the show.
Parents should police their kids. There are stuff out there that young minds should not see. Period.

I do not think watching somebody kiss can harm a kids brain. It is the regressive human behaviour and violence which kids need to be protected until an age they are not impressionable. The discussions here is very mature, divorce, human relationships etc which is not suitable.
