"WiredSafety's volunteers have been doing this since right after the Web was launched. For more than 16 years we have been helping people who need our help online. Our sites have had different formats, approaches and lots and lots of coders, editors, writers and webmasters. We are all volunteers, and our online presence looked different every time someone added something or took something away. The site and our other sites grew, but not always in the right way. Our haphazard sites and navigation would be modified to adapt to a need we discovered, and new topics shoe-horned in when they emerged. No one overall vision for the site. And it stopped reflecting our One Vision, One Mission, One WiredSafety rule. We never had enough time to plot our site, update everything and adopt the newest technologies to help us address the needs of the public or even all our volunteers. Please accept our apologies. That was before. This is now. With the generous support of Google, Spectorsoft and a couple others we have ripped everything down and started from scratch. Only about 10% done, we launched with the new site to clean things up. Expect daily changes and improvements. "

"MouseMail uses Active Email Filtering to scan for inappropriate content, as well as non-approved contacts in every email. MouseMail scans all incoming and outgoing email messages for inappropriate content. Questionable messages will not be delivered to the child, but diverted to the parent for review. This filtering allows parents to passively monitor their children's communications, giving parents a chance to talk with their child if an issue arises before that issue becomes serious."
