What brings 9-year-olds to the internet anyway?
The only thing most 9-year-olds do on the internet is club penguin.
That and Webkinz.
Parents need to understand that even though this is a virtual Lego building game, it's still an online game. Nothing's stopping people from building snakees everywhere, or pixel research, other than the authority of the server.
Once, my mom told her friend about Blockland, and her friend thought her son, who's a 6th grader, might like it.
My mom requested that I write an email about the game, and to give her a link to the game's website, to this kid's mom. In the email I put everything good about Blockland, the basics. At the end I warned her that it was, indeed, an online game, and that anything could happen, bad or otherwise.
I don't think she let the kid buy the game. Oh well. I don't think the kid was very mature, anyway. He has a reputation around his grade for being annoying.
One less nub, right?
