Internet Safety site that has won some awards -- I want to know the balance of this information and if it shows all aspects of the issue. I would love to have someone do a full review on this one.

This site is full of information about the scary side of the Internet -- it talks about predators and what they look like. It also shows predator warning signs, which could be interesting.

Note: this is the same site I posted earlier -as THINKQUEST AWARD WINNER 2007: Internet Safety, Keeping it Real." This Thinkquest Project does focus on the dark side of the Internet, perhaps excessively, our CTAP team thought. But it was created by 6th graders and they are to be commended for their effort. Anyone else here a Thinkquest judge? Judging starts today, actually. It's grueling but a rewarding effort. And you get to see some pretty cool stuff!

Discussion between parents and children is the best way to create trust. But computer use especially by new users can not be expected to be "private" from their parents.
