Eileen, odd as it may seem, that's not what COPPA is about at all. Quoting from the first paragraph of the
statement from the FTC:
[:blue]The main goal of the COPPA and the rule is to protect the privacy of children using the Internet. Publication of the rule means that, as of April 21, 2000, certain commercial Web sites must obtain parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under 13.
Nothing about what you are allowed to show the child--only what information you are allowed to collect from them. It's about privacy, not offensiveness.
