The risk is that they might add someone untrustworthy.
Real-world example: Kid plays WoW. After a lot of discussion, his mom lets him use Real ID. He friends his sister, one of his close RL friends, and his guild leader.
The next day, trade chat is full of his sister's name, cell number, workplace... Turns out the guild leader was a bit of a jerk.
The thing is, his sister never friended anyone she wasn't directly related to. The FoF feature means you should not only never add people you don't trust, you should never add people who trust anyone you don't trust.
