Thanks, angel. I'll certainly be showing some of the sites to my daughter ! I had no idea there were such resources on the Net

Thanks, angelbabe. We have installed serious software and have a firewall, so the kids "should" not be able to access the wrong types of places, but it is better to sit down with them and explain why they should be careful. Thanks for the info....

I had a quick glance at one of the sites and I was horrified to read that 2 out of 5 children in the states that dissapear are internet related.
