    Pointless thread and pointless subject. If the parents was doing some "parenting" then they wouldn't have this problem.

    Couldnt agree with you more !!!!!!!! Kids need to be taught right from wrong , at 6 years old this teaching should already be well under way !

    My son, when about 6 was on ebay and tried to use the but it now for on a mystery machine - not a toy, a real van. Fortunately my login details were not auto saved on the main pc, but had he done it on the laptop, I'd have been the proud owner of a van I couldn't drive.

    i dont find a child knowing right from wrong odd in the slightest!

    Do you actually read what people type? I don't find children knowing right from wrong either, no where have i said i do.

    Telling people that this couldn't have happened because your children were not capable of similar is odd, plain and simple.

    It's a good idea to supervise children online, you don't know what they might "happen" across by "accident" ;)

    Only some random person behind a pc screen would make such a remark ! i have you know that my children could teach you a thing or two - manners being one of them !

    My children could work a pc at no age but thats not the point here is it ? The point here is parents supervising their children whilst they are on the pc........it can be a dangerous place you know and kids of 6 years old should not be left to surf the web without the supervision of an adult !

    You seem to have forgotten what you wrote earlier, as the above is a complete contradiction. You are coming across as rather silly.

    I don't know. Maybe he / she isn't stupid enough to let his / her kids watch her input her credit card details online numerous times.

    Let be honest, this isn't evidence that the OP's child is some sort of genius. They watched and copied. That's all.

    I wholly agree, that is how most children learn, but no-oneknowsme implied that because her children could not do it, other children would not be able to do so either. This clearly is not the case. ;)

    True.

    One thing I've learned from this thread: Everyone's kid is a genius ;)
