Childs email address

[evamum]

I have found out that a friends 13 year olds email address is xx(name)babyxx@email provider.com

Does anyone else find this disturbing or am I over-reacting?

am confused, what is the distburbing bit??

[evamum]

corrina, its the fact it has kisses and baby, i just found it a bit flirty, sexual for what, IMO, is still a child.
I was just curious what others thought!

oh thought u was shocked bout her having emial address thats why i wanted to check (ds1 has his own one and he is only 7 but then he only email grandaparents since they moved oh and i do get a daily one that says "i love you mummy"), but then i do agree with u young girls definately are too desperate to be that much older, no you are not over reacting if it was my child then i would not allow it, maybe the parents think it 'cute'.

maybe the parents don't know her email address?mine doesn't know mine. i don't email her as i live with her so would seem a bit pointless!! is putting baby in really that sexual though?

What bugs me more is sexualisation of the word 'baby'. It isn't and never should be remotely related to sex, except as a by-product.

I have the term baby in my username here, but it doesn't have a sexualised meaning at all.
