Couldn't read it the other way, now you can see what the questions and replies were. Irene Thanks for your email. I have spoken with the head of Genes Reunited. We will be changing our terms and conditions so that the minimum age is 16. In the meantime, minors will need their registration managed by an adult. Regards Estelle http://www.genesreunited.com ---Your Message--- Thanks for your reply but I don't think you answered my question. I know your terms and conditions, I just asked that you review this case. Out of interest why do they have to be 18, they can leave home at 16 and can get married at 16. There are lots of sites on the net that are not really for young people so why do you stop them from getting on this site which will keep them off the other sites. It still seems silly to me, rules for rules sake. Irene ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 8:16 PM Subject: Re: Feedback Thanks for your email and your feedback I can confirm that friendsreunited and genesreunited both state in there terms and conditions that members have to be over 18 to use the site. I hope this helps Regards Alex http://www.genesreunited.com ---Your Message--- Why do you have to be 18 to join GR, I can't see any reason why they have to be. 16 with parents permission I can understand but to throw someone off when they have done nothing wrong I think is really silly. I hope you will review Sopha being thrown off this site. I am all for young people taking an interest in their families. Irene |
