Last night while cooking dinner my daughter called me to see something on her msn. It was a guy called Robert saying he was horny and he needed people to watch and gave her a webpage to go to, she had asked him a couple of times who he was and said I don’t know you I am 11 years old. He said that’s ok as long as you don’t tell anyone.
I have kept a transcript of the conversation and the website address he gave also his msn addy. I tried to go to the report abuse section on msn to no avail it kept coming with not available at this time and I have had the same problems today.
I only done a thread about children and internet the other week, for this to have happened now, it has left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. My daughter is now petrified to use her msn again.
Please make sure your kids are safe, I watch mine and always say call if in any doubt about something.
Have you any advice what I should do?

Do you have advice, Please make sure your kids are safe
I can't understand how he came to appear on your daughter's MSN? Does she use Messenger? if so, the only people that should be there are those she invites herself.
I hope you get sorted asap Minxy
If you've got his email address and details you could just ring your local Police for advice. I know of a family who've successfully had a man prosecuted for grooming their daughter. She did however add his details believing he was 16 years old like herself.

I think your daughter did exactly the right thing by making sure he new how old she was and then fetching you and I think you have done the right thing, by letting her know that you are there to help if something like that happened and would not tell her off (as some might).
I would also agree with the poster above who said tell her to not add anyone unless she knows who they are. MSN is great for kids to keep in touch out of school, but can also make an innocent child vunerable.
Thankfully my son is in his teens now and quite savvy, so I think we have got past that stage, although I still check on him now and again.

If the toy is dangerous, take it away from the child. Simple logic.
Or make double sure you know who your kids are talking too, all the websites they visit, and check what they do on it.
At least your Daughter told you Minxy, imagine how easy it is for grooming to take place on the internet. I have said this before " be a responsible parent when letting your kids use the internet ". You have been Minxy.

When your sent a mail that people have forwarded on and on and on and on via msn... IE jokes and stuff.... along with it comes a very long list of people email addy's its been sent to from them including yours..and a whole list of contacts of the person who received and has forwarded on.(if you get my drift)
I would imagine because of this it is very easy to just pick up somebodys email addy. It's also quite easy to received an invite and just add them to msn without actually knowing who they are, i've done it myself.
I had 2 occasions where a cpl and a single male spoke to me thru msn and when i tackled them.. they said they were friends of such and such. I asked how they got my addy and both said through this other persons network of friends.
I now try and add very few people unless i have seen there pics and spoken to them else where for a while.

Two hints when forwarding Jokes and funnies :
Firsly, take the time to edit out all the names of the people who got it before you - ( this also enhances the pleasure of the people you send it to, as they don't have to wade through 5 pages of names before they get to the joke)
Secondly, rather than putting your recipients names into the "To" box, use the "BCC" box -- that way, only your name and the individual on the list who opens it have their names displayed and not the names of the 40 other people you sent it on to ( makes it look more "personal" too)

could try reporting it here
Would also have a chat with your daughter and tell her never to accept any new contacts on msn unless she knows who they are.
Thanks for the link I have looked at it and you can only report websites from what I can see. As this was on msn it doesn't look like they cover that service.
I have told my daughter not to accept anyone she doesn't know. I asked how he got added and she said he just popped up talking while she was talking to her friend.
She never sends emails from this account so I have not a clue where he appeared from and she is pretty sensible and I have checked out her contact list and only has friends from primary school and one from secondary school on the list. She always calls me if someone wants to be added to her account and we check together before adding them. So both of us were shocked to see this contact on her list.

Report it to the police. They have a unit to deal with this kind of thing.
Your daughter had the sense to tell you about it and is safe. Many kids cant/wont/dont talk to their parents about this kind of stuff and are at risk.

Think u know is the campaign aimed at getting kids net safety aware from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection unit.
Well worth drumming into children's heads: as there is a reporting facility and they can report any issue they feel unhappy about.

Report the website address that he gave. Surely if he was going on cam/had pictures, he'd have had to be registered on the site and they could use his MSN address to cross-reference and find him?

CEOP thats the unit, I couldnt remember the name.
:thumbup:
I have had this issue myself with children using . If they manage to change their setting to show they are a girl and change the setting to ' Me', people start to contact them. I am not computer literate enough to fully understand it...but I too have seen a totally graphic message sent on to a 9 year old. Once we changed her settings, the problem was resolved and no one managed to pop up into conversations. The police were informed too.
Maybe MSN is the same.
