You know, our kids are gonna go out in the world not knowing anything that's goes on if they don't learn, The Sex is a little Problem but if u trust your kid they won't go in the rooms like that, The language is really bad but then again....what site can you really get past the language I think this is a fine site and It's great for 12 year olds and +! Good job habbo staff. If u don't think this is a good report u need 2 have a little fun :).
Habbo, it's THE place for a kid to have some fun and chat with other teens in a safe environtment - says Sulake. But when you're actually on it for a day you'll see users trying to do long distance dating and showing severe sexual behaviour. On top of that users have a certain way of making people believe they're friends. But they're just friends for pixelised properties. Note that games like Habbo are entirely "private" which means that every user could be someone else then he says he is.
All in all, Habbo is not the place to let your kids go on. It only produces constant drama and a bullying attitude to your kids.
It will not educate your kid in any way except how to ruin peoples lives and show off their body.
Of course there's going to be people out there that are rude and nasty. But we try our best to just try and tune these people out! Does everything have to be educational? I mean it's good, but just because it doesn't really teach doesn't mean it's so horrible. There's also an 'ignore' button when you click on a person. You can ignore them and hear NOTHING that person says. There's a filter, too. And there isn't random people walking around looking for sexuality based things. You have to go to certain rooms people make for it. And Habbo Moderators are constantly sending out alerts to those in sexual based rooms saying, " Do Not Cyber! It's against the Habbo way and we need to keep a nice clean hotel! " Their working their butts off to try to keep the site up and nice for people. And Habbo's not the only one that you have to pay REAL money for. Check out the other THOUSANDS of sites that you have to pay to buy virtual things, sometimes they even make you pay just to JOIN. But Habbo is free to join, and they hand out five credits once in a while on holidays. And I think this site is very wonderful and well maintained. :)
These kids impose as Nazis, Terrorists, Criminals, Rapists, e.t.c, They use sexual content and find ways to make it look like their naked such as:
Boy: Skin colored shirt, Skin colered pants, No shoes, Belt that looks like a penis
Girl: Bra, Skin colored pants, no shoes
I have witnessed this myself and I do not really approve of it, Habbo Hotel, I noticed you can turn bobba off in the prefrences, people turn it off or use shortened swears such as: Fck,13itch, A$$hole, You should have the mods watch EVERY room. Habbo is a GREAT site, put it needs major improvements in safety, language use and more.
this game is very dangerous. i have watched the screen while he is on there and the children are very rude and use bad language. my son got on there and was chatting with someone he thought was his age and it turned out to be a 43 year old man. my son stopped chatting with this man but he is now trying to stalk us. do not let your children on this game it is very dangerous.
I am 11 and play Habbo there are some bad parties for children. There are also alot of things kids my age can do. I think all the nasty parties, hobosexual parties and such shouldn't be allowed.
it is a fun site but it is not a good site for kids under 10 its more for 12 years to 16 or 17 that can be able to take all that bad stuff . there is alot of bad launguage and people talk alot about sex stuff moms and dads need to watch what there kids go to and check the site out before they play on it
I visited Haboo and saw a bunch of African American avatars arranged in a Swastika formation. Someone I can only presume to be the moderator was taking over the channel and saying everyone had AIDS and the "pool" (Habbo is arranged as a Hotel) was full of AIDS! For young children this can be quite shocking.
To be completely honest, if you payed attention to the game they have a call for help? So therefore is something is borthering your child they have the right to 1. Call upon a moderator for assistance
2. Leave the room
or 3. theres an ignore/shutup button on each avatar's userface so if they dont wanna hear it they dont have to?
I totally love how your pointing out all of habbo's cons. You didnt include , that the rooms are 24 hr moderated? They have contests and other games that kids can enjoy? OR Just because its an advertisement deal? They are trying to help your child win things? So before you go critisicing look at all the wonderful things someone/something do for people before writing a petition to ban it. Thanks
This is a SEXUAL website for 18+ NOT for 17 or younger!
It's mainly okay to have a nice chat about what you like and that, but sexual language IS NOT okay, as children aged 8-10 can grow up becoming too sexual.
This website is great my kid met a friend on here a few days ago and he lives just down the street. He admitted he was 40 years old on line so I knew he was honest and trustworthy. Now my small child is being watched and cared for by a mature friend when I am busy
i think it is ok for them to learn about sex but i dont recamend it for 4 and under cuz my 6 year old dauter loves too get that feeling to have online sex cuz they arnt really doing it is what she said.
