Keeping kids safe in chat (Nov. 3, '00 issue)
Childnet International says it has long felt that chat rooms "pose the biggest threat to child safety on the Internet." After this London-based nonprofit organization last July heard from the parents of a 13-year-old girl who had been contacted in a Net chat room and sexually abused by a pedophile (who has since been convicted), it decided to take action. The result is ChatDanger.com, designed to alert parents and get companies that run chat services to provide better safety advice for children.
