Should we let our kids create videos on YouTube?
Today was interesting for several reasons, but primarily because my 9 year old daughter's YouTube video response to President Obama's speech yesterday appeared to start going viral on YouTube.
What do you think of this? Should parents let their children create and post (or post for them) videos on YouTube? We hear a lot of fear about Internet predators, but what are the realities? Chime in with your thoughts.

I loved her take on the President's speech. She got the just of it - what can I do to contribute to our society. I think people overreacted to the President's intent and I think those individuals damaged their child's ability to respect the President,who is our nation's leader whether we voted for him or not! Great job!

Thanks Kay - I certainly didn't anticipate the video would get as wide a circulation as it has... as of this writing it's been viewed over 60,000 times and I've moderated/approved over 700 comments... It certainly brings the issue of kids being on YouTube and safety to front and center.
