The girl in that picture doesn't look old enough to use a computer. That looks like a third grader. I certainly hope there's not a third grader in this kind of trouble. Maybe she's a 13 yr old, I don't know, but she(?) certainly doesn't look old enough to be on this site.
I don't know how to do the double quotes. Your second post about contacting children's protective services is what I wish to add to this.
What if she isn't a child? What if she is a young adult, which she stated she was when she signed up for CM and she just looks very young? You are looking at a picture and judging this person. How would you like it if someone looked at you and said... gee... you look old, yes you are allowed to be here I guess... but damn, do you really need to be? Then worked on the premise that they were correct about you and told you about senior discounts, AARP and the activities at the senior resource center?
My son is 26 and looks sixteen. I was an adult, step mother of four and looked about thirteen. I would go to the store and older women would see me pushing a cart and would literally push me out of the way as if I were an inconvenience to them as they did the real adult work of shopping.
But you know... the last laugh was by me and on them. I was adult.. I looked young... I had a long run and well into my older age... looked younger than those who would treat me as less than they because they looked their age. I would suggest not insulting based on the appearance of someone, least you wish to be held by the same criteria.
I was in the same boat. I was regularly carded until after I turned 45... not out of policy, they really did not think I was old enough.
