I am seeking advice about *safe* email options for kids. My son (age 13) and daughter (10) have been asking for their own email addresses. While I can easily set them up under my own domain, I am concerned about spam and safety. For those of you with kids, what have you done about email? Options I have considered include: * Email accounts that I would occasionally monitor. Not because I want to read messages from their friends, but because I want to be aware of what they are receiving. My kids hate this idea and I'm not totally comfortable with it either. * Email programs that uses a ³white list² I would input addresses of friends and family members and these would be the only people from whom my kids could receive messages. * A hosted service like Kid Safe Mail <http://www.kidsafemail.com> Any suggestions would be welcome. Software recommendations would need to run on Macintosh computers (OS X). I want to trust and respect my kids AND keep them safe. Thanks, David ++++++++++ David Spound, M.Ed.
