What was I doing at the age of 11, umm not that. Goes to show that the parents don't check or bother wanting to know what they do on their PC's.

I would be more concerned with my children reading profanity, hate, and vanity, and viewing disturbing images. But illegitimate hacking is not healthy behavior either. That is too young to be learning illegal/unethical practices.
