- When a child
enters a response to a discussion question in an activated story, we

far as where the message originated. Each message received is edited
for spelling, grammar and child-appropriateness before it is
uploaded and shown online. The child's first name, age, and comment
is the only information that is shown online.
- If a child
enters his or her last name by mistake, we try to re-enter
the message with the child's first name only. Then, we simply delete
the original message with the child's full name from our database.
Or we may delete any message received that has the child's first and
last name. In any event, we receive the message first and edit it
before it is posted online.
