MSN/Windows messenger: safe for 13 year old?

Hi,

I have been asked by a relative about MSN messenger. The person in question has
a 13 year old daughter who wants to use MSN (all her friends use it). The
parent has banned MSN after a letter from the girl's school saying "we don't
encourage the use of MSN Messenger".

The parent clearly wants me to back her up in her argument with her daughter
that MSN Messenger is risky, but it's not something I have ever really had to
worry about. And, to be honest, I'm just not convinced that a ban is
appropriate. But then, I don't have a 13 years old daughter.

If anyone here has and knowledge, experience and/or opinion on the above I would
very much like to hear it.

Thanks.
Adam.
