Is this normal these days?

[GoatsHaveStrangeEyes]

My dd is 7 (in year 3) and has a moshi monster account just like the rest of the kids at school.

I like to keep an eye on what she is doing so just checked it and there is a lot of bullying happening on there. One girl even said she hated my daughter, that she was "sik in the head" and that "she hates her, she is a nob no avence".

I am really shocked at the nastiness of it all coming from such young children. Or am i just being out of touch. My poor dd.

It's disgusting. Your poor DD.

People won't believe that young children can be this nasty though

I was recently fuming because my friends sister was getting the same sort of abuse. Calling her names, fat, ugly. Poor girls :(

Cancel the account.

My DS was into Club Penguin which was similar to Moshi Monsters I think and had an account but any chat function was switched off. Is that an option?

I'd also bring it to the attention of the school just so that they can do some keeping safe online/cyberbullying awareness.

It would also be worth telling them in case any of it is spilling over into school.

I wouldn't cancel the account. Why should the little girl not be able to play her game just because of idiots like this. Is there a way of reporting them? Does she know the girls personally?

I am going to speak to the school about it later as one of the messages said that is my dd didn't reply to her then she would be mean to her and she meant in school . Their parents will have to believe it as i have all the messages as proof!

My dd is a lovely girl and wouldn't be nasty to anyone but she is smart and sensitive, just the type bullies like to pick on. I know she will stick up for herself but she is desperate to be liked.

I will have a chat with her abgout it all too as she never said anything which is upsetting.

No you are not being out of touch at all. It is completely unacceptable. Do you know who the girl is? I'd start by deleting her as a friend on the MM account so she can't do it.

Turn the chat function off and explain to her that it is an extra on the game that is being misused by others, not her fault and she shouldn't have to read rude comments. If that fails, buy the moshi games on ds?

Good idea to speak to the school.

There were a few of them who have been sending messages to her and then sending messages to eachother about her.

Some of it is typical kids things like "you're not coming to my party" etc but there were some saying she smells of dog poo, that they hate her, she is weird etc. It is all said with a really nasty tone too.

I have deleted them all from her account so they cannot send her any messages but it doesn't stop her reading it elsewhere afaik.

The school have already sent out letters about bullying on facebook, you would think moshi monsters was safe!

I would not cancel the account. I would ask moshi monsters hq if you can get her monster name changed so that these bullies cannot contact her. There is so much on moshi monsters that you don't need "friends" to play it. After you get the name changes, just tell her to not add friends. Also report online bullying to moshi hq. my kids play moshi with no "friends".

It is not normal, these kids are behaving disgracefully.

Inform school. Can you block the nasty chatters?

My DD 8 has a moshi account which DH checks regularly I think, muat make sure.

Anonymity is a scary thing on the internet.
This is why so many websites integrate with Facebook now, so you can't hide who you are.
