I mean, really, it's not even some huge teen or m rated MMORPG game, just a game made by National Geographic for crying out loud, yet not only is there a parent getting upset over it but it's news LOL. Of course kids can find ways around things, no matter how restrictive they may be, but to actually think it's a problem with the game itself and it should be pulled..SERIOUSLY???
Yeah, actually monitoring what our kids do online and being responsible...too hard. Just get rid of it! I don't know what's more absurd, this woman wanting to pull an otherwise fun kids national geographic game, or the fact that she thinks there are all kinds of child predators just looking to try to get to your kids on it. LOL!
This family is living in an RV and this is her biggest concern!
Nothing wrong with living in a RV, tiny house living can save people a huge sum of money. As for the game, people are stupid, no surprise. Especially when it comes to anything remotely associated with sex.
My kids used to play Animal Jam. There are tons of parental controls. You can limit it so that your kid can't receive messages at all. You can limit it so that your kid can only send pre-selected lines of conversations. You can make it so your kid can't send or receive messages at all, or only from other users you approve. There is a whole parent portal where you can manage all of that. My kids are over AJ now, but it seemed pretty harmless to me.
My daughter's Animal Jam game was hacked when she played it when she was younger. She was upset the hacker took over her account, and that was the end of the game for us. I see nothing wrong with parents sharing unexpected experiences with a child's game. Since it is a National Geographic game, I would think most parents would not expect the problems shared in this story. I find it more concerning that you are insulting a mom who obviously was paying attention to what her child was doing. If she wasn't, then she never would have caught the problem.

I don't think I'm better but I've lived in trailer parks and they didn't attract the kind of people I want my daughter exposed too. The ones who allowed RV' s were even worse. I'm low income so finding safe affordable housing is extremely difficult and a high priority of mine. Tiny houses are a different animal and don't really have the negative associations an RV park has. I'm not saying all people in mobile houses are bad but IME the stereotypes aren't based on nothing. Huge amounts of openly displayed domestic violence,teen pregnancy, alcoholism and addiction. Yes I know those things are everywhere but for some reason those things were right out in the open so exposure was constant and unhealthy for myself and my child. When behavior is normalized then you start to think it's not that bad because everyone you see is doing it.
I also live where Tornadoes and Hurricanes have an effect so ,yes I would have bigger things to worry about.
So you think all "trailer parks" are the same or that just because they live in an RV they live in such a place?
I think your world must be terribly small to try and force large groups of people into such neat little boxes like that. Unfortunately your boxes don't match reality.
There are terrible neighborhoods built with stick and bricks, there are terrible neighborhoods with RVs and the opposite is also true.
Judging someone simply because there was an RV in the back and then making sweeping judgement based on that little information is pretty short sighted and likely wrong.

What idiots! So long as a parent treats their kids like prisoners in the parents fearful and unfriendly JAIL, the kids (like we were) will loose respect for their foolish, jailer parents and the go behind the Jailer's back any way possible. The parents, not the kids, set up the walls of disrespect, contempt and SUSPICION that causes kids to rebel in their teens and have such unloving attitudes towards their Jailer/Warden parents.
All the adults in that pathetic video exhibit the very same ignorant attitudes about takng things away from these little criminals, watching over their shoulders, seeing kids as PROBLEMS to be dealt with and fixed and overall CONTEMPT for kids. Nothing is mentioned about love, trust, honesty, respectful discussions with your kids, establishing and maintaining TRUST and RESPECT with you kids or anything resembling MUTUAL love, respect or trust - just adult CONTROL and DOMINATION which never worked in our very dysfunctional family.
It is obvious that the over-weight, trailer park woman sees her own kids as INMATES in the family Jail where she is the JAILER - not a mom! Kids are not going to put up with unfriendly, contemptuous Jailers forever. We never did!
The saddest thing about that video is how all those stupid adults have forgotten that they once were kids who faced the same parental STUPIDITY and animosity that they are now showing.
