DD2 had a huge falling out with her friend yesterday, so she came home and reported her as being underage for an art website they both use. This backfired on her a bit, as the web moderator said that they had had a look at both DD's and her friend's posts and as they were both clearly classmates, they were banning them both. The mod said that if they were both over 13, all they needed to do was email proof in the form of a copy of a passport or birth certificate and they would get their accounts back. He also banned DD1 (who is over 13) as her and DD2's email accounts are linked.
I've told DD2 that I am appalled and disappointed in her behaviour, and that she has to tell her friend what she has done. I know her friend is going to be really upset as she loved this site and used it more than DD2. DD2 has been crying, saying she didn't know why she did it, and that her friend is going to hate her. I have said that she needs to learn to live with the consequences of her actions, especially if she does something as nasty and vindictive as this. DD2's friend was on the website with the permission of her parents, who monitored her use of the site (as did I with DD2). Both girls are 10/11 and in final year of primary. The situation is complicated slightly, in that DD2's friend was a "paid up" member of the site, and her parents will now have forfeited this month's subscription. DD2 is a "free" user, so doesn't have the extra points and benefits that being a paid member brings.
DD2 has gone to school in tears, and I think is genuinely sorry, but I think she needs to apologise in person to her friend.
