Your kid has an assignment. Your innocent little one, pure as driven snow, is under orders to go online and research a topic. Their well-meaning teacher has filled their head with visions of endless knowledge available at the touch of a button. But you know the truth. Whatever it is your kids are searching for, there is porn of it. And if there isn’t yet, there will be.
So what do you do? Forbid them to use the net? Might as well forbid them to ever drive a car. Send them to KidRex. It’s a kid-safe search built around the Google search engine. Here’s how they define themselves.
KidRex is a fun and safe search for kids, by kids! KidRex searches emphasize kid-related webpages from across the entire web and are powered by Google Custom Search and use Google SafeSearch technology… No filter is 100 percent accurate, but SafeSearch should eliminate most inappropriate material.
No, I do not work for them. No, I do not get a referral bonus if you click through to their page.
But I do have one request. If your child manages to write a book report about Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women” without having to see anything normally covered by a bikini, please come back here and leave a comment trumpeting your success as a tech savvy parent.
