Would you allow a total stranger of any age or sex into your child or teen's bedroom? Sites like this make that possible--without you even being there to supervise! Omegle* is another scary one to watch out for.
This website is a horrible thing for children (and everyone else). Men can be seen masturbating on camera. I have a friend that came across a couple having oral sex. I also have a friend who saw a woman doing some very suggestive acts with a vibrator. She proceeded to ask him "Are you erect yet?" to which he responded, "What were you expecting?" She responded, bluntly, "Masturbation." This is not a site you want your kids on.
Well it's not perfect for kids NOR older kids.Even by just looking at the picture common sense media has.It doesn't sound or LOOK safe.I DO NOT think people should go on this website.
Chatroulette is a dangerous website for kids. Every video chat is randomly chosen and usually the other person is there for sex. You never know what your kids will be seeing. Anything from alcohol use, to marijuana smoking, to masturbation and language. Safety may also be an issue. As people might ask where you live, or your phone number and etc.
I saw all the reviews for this because on my facebook all my friends were commenting saying stuff like "Hey I was waiting for you on Chatroulette last night!" And so I got curious and went on the site. I set up my webcam and I went on. The first person that came up was a female my age. I thought so far, "this isn't so bad!" But she nexted me. So I just went to the next chat. It was a blank room. I hit next and I saw a guy, he looked about like he was in his 40's and he was jacking off. I was very disturbed, but something urged me to keep trying. So I hit next and I was prepared for the worst. I saw a guy who looked about 17. He was in his bedroom with all the lights turned off. The only light was his laptop and the TV behind him. I saw the expression on his face and from what I could tell he was psyched that I was female. He called me sexy, then I saw two more faces appear. Apparently he had friends over. I just rolled my eyes but I didn't leave. Then they started jacking off. I saw another boy in the backround looking at the screen and he was chanting "strip! strip!" I just exited out and I never typed "chatroulette" again.
PLEASE be prepared for those kinds of people.
Fun for five minutes in the company of friends, 18+!
I have been on this site a couple times but only under the following condition: In a room with several of my friends with a good mix of guys and girls. Visiting this website with other people can make it a funny experience. I can even note one time when by some 1/20000th chance we landed on a friend of ours at the same college in another dorm. That being said, I would NEVER visit this website alone. Being alone really adds to the creep factor and emphasizes the fact that, as Common Sense says, everything is done in real time. People have been known to take screen captures (taking pictures of the screen) unbeknownst to the other user. And these a literally strangers. It's taking anonymous chat room surfing to a new level. And then there are the male genitalia... from what my friends and I have seen, males far outweigh females on this site. It is not an exaggeration to say that everything 5th person comes to a close-up webcam view of a man pleasuring himself. And there is a report button, but the damage has been done by that point. All in all, from what I understand, the Russian creator of the site had very innocent intentions, and his idea was really cute. But unfortunately, as things on the internet tend to do, it has taken a very nasty turn.
I tried this site once, and it was a horrible experience. Everyone on there is creepy old men who only want kids to do inappropriate stuff for them. Parents, i advise you to block this site, it just makes your kids an easy target for pedophiles.
I think that site should be banned as far as anything. Not kids not adults. no one wants to see anything on that website, its mostly guys masturbating which is not very appropreate for anyone to see. right?
DON'T EVER GO HERE. this is scary. and im telling u. there r a lot of perves on this site. i never been on it. if your a girl, then a guy will ask u to show him your b00bs. im perrty scared of this site. moms ana dada, if your reading this, DON'T EVER LET YOUR KIDS GO ON THIS WEBSITE.
this website is terrible in terms of concealing identity, safety, and exposes young kids to things they don't need to see at their age.
Since you don't have to sign up for the website, just click a button saying you're 16+, anyone and everyone can use this, and 9 times out of 10, you see inappropriate things on other people's web cams.
traumatic potential for any age ~ NOT FOR CHILDREN
This is exactly what we need to protect our children's innocence against.
The potential traumatic impact is tremendous. Anyone can be showing anything at any time... and with 1 click your child can be seeing that....
This site is going on my absolutely blocked blacklist
I was bored, my friend was over, and she told me to go to Chatroulette. She said that she talked to some really nice people there. So after she left,I went on, and a woman was on there feeding her baby.... the gross way...
Nothing good, Do not let your kids on, If you do, Your kids will probably be seeing Sex, Cursing, And fake terrorism and inappropriate stuff, Maybe for 25+ year olds But NO NO NO NO NO for kids!
