A ten year old just answered one of my questions. Are there really children here that young on YA?

I have to unfortunately say yes on this one. There's already far too many underage users who be on this site. I'm also concerned for them, like you. Because of what you raised in your question, I have to agree with you on this one. It is a very serious matter by the looks of things. There's no telling what kind of danger they can be in while on this site. What they don't realize is that there are rude users, profanity, and online pedophiles who want to take advantage of them. This matter should be brought to the immediate attention of the Y!A Team.

To report them, go to their posted content and click the Report Abuse button. Once at the abuse report page, check the first box for a Community Guidelines violation. In the Additional Details box, type in "Underage account." By providing this information there, this will give them and Customer Care more to work with when dealing with this situation. Click Submit when finished.

Once reported, they will get their accounts suspended by Customer Care for being underage. This has to be done for their own good because of the aforementioned reasons. Anyone who wants to participate on Y!A has to be 13 or older; this is for safety and legal reasons.

My understanding is the minimum age required is 13 yrs old. My 11 yr old grandson, whom I adopted tried to join and was refused and yet my 14 yr old adopted grandson was accepted. I agree with you, Robert, that 10 is WAY too young. I wish there were groups on here--by ages-such as possibly 14 through 16 and maybe 17 through 19 and so forth.

Yes I agree with 110% it is serious and if you follow these steps the account will usually be removed swiftly.

Report them as an underage user. 13 yrs old and up is allowed and truthfully I think 13 is too young

To report it, go to the "Report" icon at the bottom of the post the child made on your question.

And yeah, there are children that young here on Y!A. I guess they lie on the Yahoo! registration and then forget to back it up.

There are many children here, but YA says the youngest allowed is 13.

Why does it bother you that a ten yr old answered your question? Was his answer rude or mean? I'm 13 and i use this because it answers MANY questions i have i hope i did bother you answering this because i will be really mad/sad if you report me and my account is suspended from this. oh and p.s. i started asking questions on here when i was ten but i used my other email.

This is one of the reasons why i stopped answering in this game.

There are allott of kids and adults acting like kids !

They can't answer/ask questions if they're under 13! Report.

can you tell me why it concerns you? if it is because of inappropriate jokes or adult language, thats the person who asked the question fault and the kid for clicking on it. but other than that, there should be no concern
