A group of child advocates is sounding an alarm about Messenger Kids, saying young people should be shielded from these types of services until they're older.

Facebook says it designed Messenger Kids to help parents and children chat in a safe way and give parents control of their kids' contacts and interactions.

Children should use all online services with great care. It's much better for them to develop their social abilities by face-to-face contacts in real life first, despite what millenials might think.
