You kinda missed the whole point. Kids often use channels like that to talk to people they shouldn’t that may have become a “friend” on My Space and then agree to meet online at a game so that the parents won’t be aware. It's not like parents are all computer savvy. And it’s not always about real danger as it is about the perception of danger. It works for them to know that if their child is playing on his Wii there is no possible danger. If the child were playing on the PS3 or the Xbox 360 they can’t be sure.
