Always use caution when giving out any personally identifying information about yourself or your children in any Communication Service. NFCC does not control or endorse the content, messages or information found in any Communication Service and, therefore, NFCC specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the Communication Services and any actions resulting from your participation in any Communication Service.
