to let my Daughter, 12, use chatroulette?

[FlorDeLis]

My Ex has just rung me and said that he's fuming that I let my daughter, who is 12, use Chat Roulette.

I don't have a problem with it - she's careful on the internet, and says all her friends use it. I don't want to be the one mean mum who says no, so, as long as she's not on for more than an hour a day, I don't have a problem.

AIBU?

Don't know what it is?

Given the website says "warning, content unsuitable for minors" then YES.

However I don't believe anyone is that stupid so i don't believe you...

considering that it's known to be frequented by a fair few erm, sexual predators, then yes you are being very unreasonable. fgs, she's your daughter not a friend. act like a parent.

Yes, YABU.

You have no idea what she will come across on there - and neither does she. More often then it is grown men haing a wank.

Hardly appropriate for a twelve year old.

Everything I've heard about chatroulette includes statements like 'every third person was a fat bloke wanking', so I'd be rethinking your policy if I were you.

Is this a reverse AIBU?

Have you been on there yourself FlorDeLis?

You want your 12 yr old to be chatted up by 19/20/22 yr olds 'men' ?

Summer holidays isn't it?

totally YABU I hope this is a wind up

I've seen more cocks on there in one evening than I've seen in a lifetime of shagging so no, I wouldn't be happy with a 12 YO using it. But you're clearly a bloke with a penchant for exposing yourself online yourself

My 17 year old showed me the site and it is defo not suitable for a 12 year old

Oooooh yay my first

Er.. I think you know the answer! YABVU

Oh my goodness.

I've just been on it.

I am appalled. I am so sorry for wasting your time. I just assumed it was alright because her friends were doing it.

I assumed it was the same as Bebo/Facebook, etc.

Sorry aagin.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt for a moment... seeing as how the first rule of internet safety for teens is to NOT TALK TO STRANGERS and how the entire premise of chatroulette is to TALK TO STRANGERS, it's a bit of a no brainer

x 100

Blimey, in 'not more than an hour a day', she'll probably see more penises than I have in my lifetime - and I have not always been the paragon of housewifely purity that I am today...

I hope this is a troll.

If not, not only are you being hugely unreasonable, you're also bloody stupid, and your ex is right to be fuming.

Given she's under 13, she technically shouldn't be on Facebook either according to their terms and conditions....

I would take some time to dig into exactly what she is doing in that hour.

YADBU, sounds like a gambling site to me, totally inappropriate. She is still a child fgs.
