I don't seriously expect him to be able to break out of Zoodles now but certainly by the age of six or seven I would expect to see him trying. <br /><br />I think it is very important for parents to realise there is no safety like sitting there and sharing, talking through issues etc., to teach the child but do appreciate that for many parents that is not an option and that is where a product like zoodles can be invaluable. Hopefully children will be so engrossed by the games they will not want to leave.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08215805179729102461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201921413518697647.post-79278821752692414132010-01-31T03:28:11.036+00:002010-01-31T03:28:11.036+00:00Hi Carol,

We always value the opportunity to be thoroughly tested, and will definitely work on disabling the ALT-TAB functionality and Tweetdeck pop ups that you noted as potential security risks. We've yet to hear of any kids exploiting those loopholes, but it is still our #1 priority to make sure that young ones are safe and that Zoodles is a place their parents and grandparents can trust. This is also the reason that some of the games or videos you tried to reach may have been blocked. Several factors - including age-appropriateness, violence, reading ability, and option to print - are taken into account before allowing a link to be viewed. To overcome the frustration of being blocked, you can always play with your grandchildren in "Parent Play-Along mode" (an option under their picture) which lets you visit any link (e.g. Parents section, About Us, advertisements, etc) from any of the games inside your child's Toybox. We hope this helps to address some of your concerns, but would love to hear more of your feedback as you and your family spend more time playing with Zoodles. Feel free to email us directly at feedback AT zoodles DOT com.<br /><br />Best,<br />RachelUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09194615344607239370noreply@blogger.com
