I had a fun time writing this article. It was fun to try a different voice, especially one so young. A big thanks goes out to Terra_Cide for her help with this article. She helped make sure all the bases were covered in regards to the parental controls available on the PS3.

I think we all need to be aware of the kids on Home, I know many times I let my sense of humor get away with me while in Home then I realize whose eyes might be reading what I’m typing.

In a virtual world, everyone, from the developer to the player, has a responsibility to be aware and be socially aware of the fact that what we do in that space might just have a lasting impact on a budding individual.

What we do in a virtual world might just matter to someone in the real.

You made Li’l Gid’s voice was very clear in a great stream of consciousness. You hit upon an issue that is still really unresolved in Home. That of Younger kids on Home and what (if anything) needs to be done to help/protect them. I don’t feel it’s our responsibility, but at the same time as a citizen of Home I want everyone to have a good and safe experience here. What the best answer is, I have no idea. Great writing!

My son has a sub-account and he is 16. We initially had chat completely turned off for him and one of us are always there when he is on. I agree with Burbie that there are many good parents out there that just are not aware of sub-accounts or setting parental control.

Have a good day.

Kassadee’s one of them. Gideon’s another. Satire’s hard to pull off within the Home community, but when it’s done right, it can really get a point across.

Case in point: if you didn’t know about this stuff playing in PlayStation Home, you sure do now! And it does raise some interesting questions for us as a society to examine.

You sound level headed as to what’s right and wrong but you best watch yourself on what you watch or you’re gonna’ get grounded from your PS3. :(
Parents know more than you think they know.

I would have never allowed my son at 13 or 14 to have access to these kinds of things. In fact I doubt I would have let him on Home at all til he was 16.
This was a very entertaining way for you to point out to parents that they do have some control over what their children have access to, even on Home.
