Re: And good web sites for kids? 12 years old and less.
Sometimes your ears can play funny tricks on you. I was on the road traveling and talking to my 9 year-old daughter. She excitedly tells me "I got a webcam!" Stunned silence on my end as I have nightmares about my daughter on YouTube doing things I would not approve of. As I was about to gently tell her that no, I would not allow her to have a webcam she continued talking about all the fun things she would be doing with her new toy. That's I realized she wasn't talking about a webcam but something else. Turns out it was Webkinz. Big sigh of relief on my end. The site looks pretty safe, and she can interact with her friends and only her friends without us having to worry so much about predators.
A good friend of my son's (12 or 13 years old) had to get his myspace account shut down after a short time because from the moment the account was established there were pervs trying to message him. No thanks.

Re: And good web sites for kids? 12 years old and less.
Something else to remember is that predators are very very good at what they do. It is a very normal thing for them to start a relationship with a kid on-line pretending to also be a younger kid. They convince the kid to meet with them at the mall to hang out(or whatever) and all of a sudden they have what they want. The kid away away from Mommy and Daddy!
They do not always do this but it is pretty standard.

Child molesters have to be clever, or they get caught immediately and that's the end of their career, sexual and otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if a great many of them were more keyed into and better with kids than their own parents are.

Re: And good web sites for kids? 12 years old and less.
For the one that likes the webs/digimon/virtual pets?... I used to play on this site a looooong time ago. Almost 8 years ago.
Don't know what to tell you about the predators... Never really had a problem with them, but then again, I wasn't very vocal in the bulletin boards. Mostly stuck to chatting with the homemakers of the site, really. Site was fun when I had the time to spend on it. That's about all I got. NeoPets
