I have two kids, ages 10 and 9, who each have a 4th gen iPod Touch obviously running iOS 6. Is there any way to make it so that Messages can be restricted to only send/receive to people in your contacts? Basically I want them to be able to message me and my wife and a handful of known friends, but I don't want them messaging anyone we don't know about or getting unsolicited messages. I know I can make it so that contacts can't be added without my permission, but I don't see how to lock down Messages to use only their contacts.

And if this can't be done, is there a messaging program on the App Store that will do this?
