My five-year-old opened her first Disney gaming account this morning - actually my husband opened it for her. We entered her birthdate, first name, and my husband's e-mail address (which is all Disney can legally ask for since she is under the age of 12).
She went on to design her own "fairy" through a Tinkerbell game and then was asked if she wanted to play some games or go shopping..... wait, what??????
Why is Disney asking my underage child if she wants to go shopping? Why not just tell her to go to mommy's purse and get my credit card and enter the info so she can buy anything she wants online?
Years ago the FCC did away with television ads that said "go ask your Mommy or Daddy to buy this item for you". Yet nothing is being done about online games telling our children to shop. I urge parents to contact your senators and congressmen to ask them to regulate online children's games.
