The advice was right, but after sending a message to his son, Mark returned to his job to attract more children into his Facebook world.
On Monday, Facebook introduced Messenger Kids, a private chat app for children under 13 and used under adult supervision. Currently, only people 13 years of age or older can create a Facebook account. Messenger Kids connects to their parents account, so they can create a Help Profile. The two sides also have separate friends lists.

The application is limited to sharing text, video, images. The company also claims its application complies with the Online Privacy and Child Protection Act.
This is the 'safe place' for children of course except that it is also a place for Facebook to advertise, 'sentence' users right from their youth.
Messenger for Kids does not help much when parents still have to listen to the nagging words from their children asking to buy phones, iPads that 'everyone can have them without me'. If they followed Mark's advice about teaching children, they would have to ignore these demands again.
While David Marcus, Facebook's vice president of chat products, says Facebook's job is to "solve human problems", it's funny that they seem to be creating more problems for parents. .
