Kid-Safe Domain Created

Jadecristal writes "The Washington Post announces that President Bush has signed legislation to create a .kids.us domain. The legislation mandates that those with a .kids.us site not be allowed to link to any site outside the .kids.us domain." At the very least, it makes filtering easy.

What's allowed in the .kids.us domain?

Will they be able to access redlobster.kids.us?

If your kid hunts down bondage bimbo with barb wire bra sites, guess what, your sheltering isn't working anyway, obviously he/she has handled that subject already whether you feel they are mentally prepared for it or not.

Since when are children able to make these decisions? There are reasons parents must guide children as they grow older, and why *most* parents won't purchase biker porn for their children. Children don't yet have a concept of right and wrong, and while they are learning those concepts, they must be guided, restricted, and punished for doing wrong.

Let children be naive for at least a little while, before adult-hood ruins it for them. Mr. Rogers (childrens program in U.S.) is much better for todlers than, say, the evening news. They don't yet have to deal with the problems of the world. Christ, they are still dealing with tying their shoes!
