With all the websites for kids these days, it is important for parents to be discerning. It is always a good idea to investigate a website before allowing children on it. Some websites can take kids to other websites, some have open chat with no age restrictions and some come with viruses. Although one can never be 100% sure about anything, by inspecting websites it is possible to weed out the obvious bad ones.
