Larry Magid has two sites on the world wide web that address the issue of keeping kids safe online. One of these is SafeKids.com for kids 12 or under and the other site is SafeTeens.com for teenagers.
He developed the 2 sites because parents have some control over children under 12. At this stage of thier life kids learn through their parents. Also they will be less likely to be interested in sexual content. He feels teenagers are more influenced by their peers so they have the second site. Teenagers also might be more interested in sexually explicit material, may access to money, and may be inclined to meet with an online aquaintance.
I truly believe there should be some parental control over the internet use of their children and I totally agree with Mr. Magid that the government should have no censorship control. Kids need parental rules to deal with use of the internet.
