I would really have to be convinced to allow use of messengers, even so I would still vet who they were talking to. Until I can be assured that the internet is taking more precautions to protect the safety of children, which ULTIMATELY is the parents responsibility, there is no way I would let my kids roam free on it. They wouldn't have a computer in their bedroom, but then I wouldn't allow a TV in their room.
Thats my personal opinion, and yes its probably going to outrage some of those people that its breaking the child's rights of freedom and privacy, but they are my responsibility, while they live in my house then my word goes. I will talk through my reasons with my child, but my rules would stand.
Loving your child and protecting your child is not a breach of privacy or a breach of their rights, not in today's world where children are allowed to roam free with little or no authority or control.
