Posted by Kidzworld on 18th June 2009

Hey kids! While hanging out at Kidzworld, we want you to have as much fun as possible, but we also want you to be safe! That’s why we have these tips for you to follow while hanging out online – not just at Kidzworld, but any website you find yourself on. Check them out so that Kidzworld stays fun and safe for you and all the other users.

  • Keep your personal information to yourself. Do not disclose any info that could be used to identify you in a real life situation. Never give anyone online your last name, school name, passwords, email address or street address.
  • Be cautious of people who ask you too many personal questions – especially if they won’t stop asking, even after you’ve told them no. If this happens to you, tell your parents, one of the chat moderators or email us atprivacy@kidzworld.com. Make sure you tell us the username of the person who is bothering you.
  • If anyone online asks things that make you uncomfortable, nervous or scared, stop talking with them and tell your parents. You can also send us an email at privacy@kidzworld.com. Be sure to include the user’s screen name and some details about what happened, like where on the site and when.
  • If you ever find an image, a link or an ad on Kidzworld that you think doesn’t belong there (it has bad language or pics), email us right away. Please make sure you include the URL so that we can find it and remove it.
  • Don’t register on any website or in a contest that requires you to disclose personal information without getting your parent’s permission first. You always want to be on a safe website for kids.
  • Read the chat and bulletin board rules and guidelines before entering any chatroom. This is important stuff to know otherwise you may break the rules and get kicked off.
  • Talk to one of your parents before downloading anything from the internet.
  • Don’t believe everything you read. Lots of people like to make up stuff when they are online. It’s important to remember that the people you are chatting with may not be telling you the truth about themselves.
  • Never agree to meet an online “friend” face to face unless your parents know about it and say it’s okay. Don’t talk to anyone on the phone that you have met online unless your parents say it’s okay. Always tell your parents when someone asks to meet you in person or call you.
  • Let Kidzworld know if you ever have a problem. If you are in the kids only chat room or on the kids message boards, speak with one of the moderators. Otherwise email us at privacy@kidzworld.com.
  • But the most important thing to do! Kidzworld is a great website for kids that has the best chat rooms for kids. There are kids books to read, free stuff contests, free game cheats, free online contests, celebrities bios, new kids games, new toy reviews, video game previews, school science fair projects

Kids safety, security and fun at Kidzworld

Posted by Kidzworld on 18th June 2009

Kidzworld is a website for kids, mostly Tweens, kids ages 9 – 14. It is a safe and secure, content-driven social community for Tweens, kids ages nine to fourteen.

When founder Allen W. Achilles established Kidzworld in July 1999, there were no safe kids websites, in fact there were very few websites for kids. At kidzworld the users can read the latest movie reviews, recent book reviews, new toy reviews, find school science fair projects, read series book reviews and find out about top kids books. They can meet other kids in the safe kids chat room, or in the kids message boards.

Every place in  Kidzworld that provides users with the ability to interact with one another is moderated. Not by a machine, but by a real live human being. Our “mods” as the kids know them are well trained, and in some cases have been with us for years.

Kidzworld leverages advanced technology to allow kids to express themselves through the creation of original content in a number of different ways. They interact with each other in the kids only chat room and through active engaging postings on our kids message boards:  “The boards“.  They are able to get advice for kids from other kids and talk about kids dating with other kids.

In the KW Zone, their user profile, is a safe and secure way for them to let other kids know who they are and what they are interested in. This area is always monitored – which is something no other kids website provides. In fact, everything kids do at Kidzworld  where they can interact with each other is moderated. Thus, there is no ability to share or disclose personally identifiable information. Kidzworld truly is the best website for kids.

At Kidzworld, we strive to enrich, empower and engage kids and Tweens worldwide by providing a responsible platform where they can play and create; explore and discover; gather and interact. This is also a kids games site where they can enter video game contests, play games, get game cheat hints, find the latest game reviews and read about trading cards. In the entertainment section they can read the latest celebrity bios and get news on celebs. They can also read the latest movie reviews and new DVD movie reviews

The safety and security of our kids at Kidzworld is at the core of our mandate as the best website for kids. As a parent, you can have confidence that Kidzworld is a great website for kids and Teens providing a safem secure empowering experience for your child or children.

Kidzworld is not just a great website for kids, it is also a great resource for you as a parent. Some of the infomation on the site can be used as your personal gift guide for kids, a gift ideas guide

If at any time you have any comments or questions, please email Allen Achilles directly.
