Imagine this:

 

12 year old girl makes online friend with 12 year old boy.

 

12 year old girl starts talking to 12 year old boy in friend chat.

 

12 year old boy and 12 year old girl start having dirty little conversations.

 

12 year old girl agrees to meet up with 12 year old boy.

 

12 year old boy is really 40 year old pervert.

 

12 year old girl turns up in river, dead.

 

All because it would be improper to monitor private chat in a game marketed toward children.

 

I applaud Disney for this. OP, suck it up OR play a game NOT intended for children.

Did you read the terms of service? You broke them. You got banned. end of story.

You're lucky. In my house it would have earned you some corporal punishment.

Even sandboxes have fundamental rules such as; "Don't eat the cat poop, you'll die."

That's really the parents fault for not teaching the girl any better AND for not checking her online activities. If she's subscribed to the game then even more so because they should know her account information (since they most likely paid for it).

 

I don't know why it's always the companies to blame when something bad happens to someone. It's not their fault the parents can't take care of their kids.
