I think that is the wrong message to use tznius as a reason (and what tznius issue is there with the young male children talking to another male). It is not a matter of tznius. It is a matter of safety. And btw, relatives can also be problematic. There are many predators in the world, and some are family members R”L. BTW, female strangers can also be dangerous. How many children have been led away by a friendly-looking woman. Take the tznius issue out of the problem for the moment, and call a spade a spade. It is a concern that children should not talk to ANY people whom they do not know well, when their mommy or daddy or safe adult is not with them. Sometimes, they should not be talking even to people they HAVE met before, learn with, or are related to, without supervision, even if they look frum. We live in a terrible world right now, and this has not so much to do with tznius, as it has to do with protecting our kids from sick people.
