Good Email For Kids?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the think-of-the-children dept.

mgessner writes "My kids are starting to want email accounts of their own. Even though gmail does a pretty good job of filtering spam, it's not perfect. Searching the web the other day for kid-safe email, I found a few sites that say they can do the job. What do others do for their kids' email? Pay for it? Just use a free service like gmail or yahoo? I don't pay for email accounts out of my own pocket, so I don't really see the need, but if the cost was a few bucks a month, I'd do it."

    They are your kids, not mine.

    Just raise them to know what's going on, and monitor them (and let them know you are monitoring them). Either run your own mail server that CC's everything to you, run mailsnarf, or give them accounts that you also have access to.

    By itself? Now that's lovely. It's nice to see that agism has reached new lows.
