Kids Online. Safety?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Kids Online. Safety?

I think all of the comments form you guys are right. Without a doubt. But the problem isnt so much him. When he logged on to that site, he could of said anything in his profile. But he didnt mention where he lives etc. He shocked everybody about his profile. The only thing he lied about was his age (just to get in site). The only thing that bothers us was, he doesnt know WHERE to go. Some of his friends were on that one site. Thats the only reason he went. His hockey team friends are their too. And the one thing they ALL did, was lie about their age to get on. He is a very smart kid. He just lost at to what is popular, but for kids his age. How to be cool and safe, at the same time is hard for him. We were at msn community and he had his own webpage about hockey and video games, but after 3 months, still no other kids were on. Msn, was the 'out' thing. But anyway, I'll keep searching for that cool but somewhat safe community for kids his own age (10-11). Thanks

and by the way, your right about having his dad talk to him. The only differnce is, his dad is the other half of dumb people online. My sister came to me 1, because i do programing, internet etc, and 2, Im a cop. So I feel its somewhat my duty to help the ruggrat. I currently am working with a kid/chat site online with the moderators. They know Im a cop and their happy im there. I had only one person to chase down. I believe he was an adult, and was after him, but got away and removed his profile. But the site 'clubpenguin' doesnt have a community for them. Its just a chat and uses penguin charecters to interact with each other. My nephew goes their, but also wants a website/community atmosphere.
