The online world has so much to offer children--education, entertainment and interaction with young people around the world. Traveling in cyberspace, children can find a pen pal, get help with their homework, discover a hobby, become computer savvy and expand their horizons. And that's only the beginning.

Some content is intended solely for mature users. Parents should sit down with their children and explore the online world together before they turn children loose on their own. They may want to apply the same rules they would use in any situation where kids could meet people they don't know.
