There arn't any special chatroom laws. If you're inciting racial hatred or any other activities such as that then you're breaking the law, whichever medium you go for.

'In the eyes of the law' you can't be done for stuff you say just because there MIGHT be somebody under the age of 18 who can read it (providing you are not breaking all the other normal laws that apply to the forum or any other areas of the internet or real world). As far as I'm aware this is how it stands.

Morally it's a different matter, and entirely up to your own judgement.
