People should never, ever write letters? You're kidding me. What is going to happen over the mail?

When I was a kid I wrote letters all the time to anyone I met and kept up some good correspondences. I felt it really enhanced me as a character and grew my literary skills.

Anyways the point -- I'm sure -- is moot as no one does that anymore, I'll bet.

I was speaking mostly with the concern that the famous person may try and solicit nudes from the kid, which is bad for obvious reasons.

I will acknowledge that I was speaking a bit too broadly, I have clarified a bit in sibling threads. I do think it’s a perfectly reasonable precaution, especially for very young kids, to ask them to CC the parents.
