Really? I think we're talking about a 10 or 11 year old who has presumably known the majority of his classmates for several years -- you seem to be suggesting that parents or another responsible adult should be monitoring every single conversation their child has. Presuming the parents are comfortable with the technology platform and its security, your reaction seems ... disproportionate.
