Yeah, that’s a terrible idea.
Based on the article, it lets her ask them things that she doesn’t want to ask her parents, though I’m not sure that if I were 9 years old that I’d suddenly want to discover that my parents have a list of everything I’ve asked it and are reading through it, much less that Amazon has a database.

Yeah, that is a terrible violation of trust. A parent should stop listening when they find out that they have a copy of such conversations of their child. They shouldn’t write a newspaper article with citations about it

A parent shouldn’t be letting their single digit aged child have unsupervised access to the Internet. Agreed that they shouldn’t be publicizing it, but this idea that parents should be letting their kids have secrets when they’re so little is one way dangerous adults take advantage of kids.
