Depending on the type of phone you may want to look into parental controls or filters, please search this site for some suggestions and good luck! Hello, my wife just received an email notification of an oovoo friend invite to my daughter that is I did not even know of this site until this message came through which contained a profile picture of a nude grown man.
We will be deleting the app and monitoring her internet use, but can we report this person to the authorities or the app? Even if she were 13 this is wrong? Hi, i never signed up for ooVoo but apparently i have a friend and another friend request. How did this happen. Maybe it is just an invite to join? Great question — Chatroulette is similar to the chat site Omegle, so the same warnings would apply. If someone is recording an ooVoo video call do the other participants know?
Is there some sort of indicator, etc.? Maybe someone else reading this might now? If I discover the answer I will reply again. That is the correct assumption, but I have found not in Oovoo but in similar apps that even with settings like this, somehow my username was figured out and I received spam comments. I just wanted to say how great the article was, my daughter was asking if she could download Oovoo so I searched the Internet and I found this website.
I was a little concerned but after reading this it has put my mind at ease a little and given me some great pointers, which I showed my daughter and explained the reasons behind them.
Thank you, I have now subscribed. Hiya, my 9 year old has had an Oovoo account set up by her father! Most of her class seem to be on this and they have even done homework together on it. Whilst I am not a fan, I have kept an open mind in order to promote an honest and healthy discussion. Last night I watched a conversation which included somebody that is not known to my daughter, but to a mutual friend.
She was offensive and abusive and I terminated the conversation, is there a way of blocking specific people in a conversation? He has tried to call my daughter but fortunately local schools have raised awareness so she did not accept the call.
Oovoo has now been deleted. Question the security of this app? I have just had a similar incident with my 11 yr old daughter receiving an indecent video call from an adult male, exposing himself. I know this has happened to other girls in the same area, and from the same individual. The police are investigating and her school are recommending that students delete their accounts. I would be extremely distrustful of this app. Hi Laura, Thanks for the comment. I might need to adjust my article since yours is the second or third time I have heard that something like this has happened!
Thank you for your review as it was very helpful and in fact help make my decision to let my daughter join ooVoo much easier. However it was the replies afterward that I most appreciated.
Some of these comments gave my 11 year old daughter and I a chance to talk about online safety and ultimately wait to join while they improve safety a bit. I received a confirmation number from this site but never signed up…how could this happen p.
Hi recently all of my friends have oovoo however there 11 im 11 to but im too young they always show off and it really gets on my nerves. Great article Jean. My 11 year old daughter wants to install oovoo as lots of her friends also have it. I feel much better informed. We have started a new family rule that new apps can only be considered once mum and dad know how to use them first. Great site, thank you, needed to check my granddaughter was safe on these sites.
Children are so vulnerable online. Thanks for the article, have just been subject to a barrage of requests from my 11 year old all her friends have it of course …checked online and saw the 13yo rule, but then read your article anyway — very helpful. Hi Jay, Yes age 11 does seem to pop up a lot. Of course they think they are ready at that age! Hi Jean, I recently found the Oovoo app on my daughters ipad the problem is she is only 11 years old.
Do you know how the Oovoo confirms kids age? By the looks of it a kid can juat lie about being So this is why they have in their terms that the service is only for those over the age of thirteen. Children under the age of thirteen 13 are not permitted to use the Software.
