Pros- I can't think of any.

Cons- the marketing pulls kids in, they need more and more of them
- it teaches social networking at a very young age- why do they need to
learn how so young- what ever happened to just playing with your real toys
and talking to your friends.
-the children get to experience social bullying at an early age too-
friends log in to friends accounts, change passwords, and do other things
to the pets when they get angry at a friend.
-the children actually believe their pets can die- what does that tell you
about their understanding of the online world?
