any chance you could

make a section safe for say 11-16 year olds a junior section where maybe shy kids can talk to other kids about their problems where parents have to make sure its safe by giving authority to use it, i think a junior answerbank would be great, i wouldnt let my daughter on here at the mo as it stands but would feel happy with a safe site for kids to use

[sqad617]

WHAT!!!!!!!
11-16yr olds are as bad as adults...........would you REALLY let your daughter on junior answerbank?

[weeal]

...and whos to say the supposed 11-16yr olds shes talking to on it wouldnt be disgusting paedos pretending to be kids?

the web is a dangerous place at times

[zzxxee]

yes if it was really safe i think it could be good so other kids could chat about homework and issues that effect them but the saftey issue would have to be a number one priority

[zzxxee]

how many kids post questions on here loads.... a safe site for kids in this age bracket would be better than them convering as they do on here with adults already

[LoftyLottie]

Well the moderation would have to be a lot better than on this 'Senior' AB. Although, looking through some postings on here today this is already 'Junior' Answerbank!!!

Seriously though, I don't think it would be a good idea for children to discuss their problems on the internet, especially on an open for all site like this, for obvious reasons.

conversing

[weeal]

A lot of IP's ban answerbank unless youre over 18, I couldnt get on with Orange till I called them to say no kids would have access to it.
The ones who claim to be kids on here rarely are - honestly.

[LoftyLottie]

In my opinion, children shouldn't be using the internet for social reasons at all. Far too dangerous.

[weeal]

and it would have to be so well policed that it prob wouldnt be free

[Rosetta]

I agree with LoftyLottie, I can't see how you could put in workable measures to ensure it is safe for youngsters

[zzxxee]

thats what i mean about the saftey side of things parents would have to say pay a small fee give details of their credit card and proof of who they are and sign a saftey clause because as the site stands alreadt far to many kids are useing it and i dont think this is monitored closely enough sorry ed but its true ...

[weeal]

well I believe the Paedo's would still get through, they will stop at nothing, and if its labelled as a 'junior' site it would be like a red rag to a bull, hacked into and allsorts

[Rosetta]

Even then zz it could too easily be fabricated

[zzxxee]

thats true weal i just thought it would be good to stop kids useing this site as it stands at the mo if your under 18 ... something safe and informative for kids thats all

[Rosetta]

Sorry weeal, you keep posting while I am slowlllllly typing lol

[LoftyLottie]

Agree with weeal (and Rosseta) 100% Children should not be using the internet for social networking at all!!

[LoftyLottie]

Sorry 'Rosetta'!

[weeal]

i applaude your idea, just dont trust today's society thats all, the world gets more sick every day

[weeal]

lol rosetta

[zzxxee]
