Are you looking for answers about problems with your AOL service?

I’d like to recommend that you ask AOL directly since they are best suited to help you.

For AOL support, you can visit the AOL support site or even call them at an AOL toll free number.

For any account someone creates. If there is a parental controls option generally it assumes the person creating it is acting as the kind of administrator for it - the person who has control to all the settings [which may include parental controls depending on what it is].

AOL isn’t free though? At least not the actual internet service it provides. - If you are referring to AIM as in AOL Instant Messageing [which has always been free to my knowledge] there are ways in which you can still block that if you desire?
