Developer Ben Komalo has made it possible for parents to create accounts for their children who are under 13. Child accounts have several safety features:

  • The parent who creates the child account becomes the child’s permanent coach.
  • The child cannot enter certain information (e.g.. email, full name) in their profile, nor make their profile public.
  • The parent has the option of disabling the child from adding other people as coaches. (See What is a coach? for more details on coaching.)
  • The parent manages the child’s password and can change it at any time for any reason.
  • The child cannot post public messages in discussion forums.
