Kidzworld.com

In case some people don't realise this website is very dangerous, people can say there are someone but the appear to be someone eles,,, how dangerous is that, I'm sure not parent would want that for their kids, many people find someone attractive on this social media site and could agree to meet up... turns out that guy or girl is a much older person, this website is dangerous, I'm sure many parents and even police can agree with, don't persuade your children to engage to this website.

I have had my kids on this website for several years, and can confirm this is a safe website. I think the negative reviews are from kids that broke the rules repeatedly and got booted off. Sour grapes.

This site is not good for socializing with other kids. It claims heavy moderation in the chat, etc... but there is a heavy lack of moderation. First, you do not need to verify your email address to participate in socializing. Kids begin their catfish style social life (pretending they are someone else) with a heavy access on the emo meter. Who knows what kind of creepy predators could be hanging out there. When my daughter was on there chatting with several other so called friends, who gave each other passwords, names, real ID's and pics. They then began skyping each other, using other non-moderated chat rooms, etc. There were a bunch of them on there, threatening to commit suicide or cut themselves if they didn't have her as a friend. It is apparently a hangout for very lonely kids with emotional problems. I can't even tell you how many comments I read where people were talking about cutting. I got into her account thanks to parental control software and changed her email (was using a bogus one) and her password. I reported several of the cutting, suicidal style comments and messages and requested her account be closed. Nothing happened, there was no reply to my emails. Her account was not closed and I found no way to close it. I send an email to their CEO - what a joke. I told him I was a parent and concerned about the lack of moderation, how the kids were talking to each other, etc... He emailed me back and all it said was "shame on you". Very very bad site for kids. What kind of response is that from a CEO?. It makes me wonder what kind of person he is. Stay away from Kidzworld!

I've been with Kidzworld for about... 5 years. Always followed the rules except for a few slips or misspells that were censored to look like swearing. But that's not the point. After reading many comments about the site, I have to agree and disagree at the same time. While it definitely isn't the best place to chat (there are a lot of bad people {it's a collection of people from all over the world} and you'll find them here, too) but the moderators do a good job of kicking and blocking the clearly evil apples... But there's a catch - Moderators wield absolute power. From personal experience, and I'm a pretty neutral guy, they will continuously claim to be unbiased and not let their feelings get in the way, but if you've had any run-in with them, they are perfect little tyrants. "Absolute power corrupts" and they are arrogant about it, too.

FYI, don't get into any conversations that involve politics or religion, no matter how nice and friendly you are with people you are close with (friendly debates, actual and honest fun to discuss), and the moderators will keep you... politically correct. I got booted for three hours after disagreeing with homosexuality with a pal of mine.

I was also permanently locked out of my account when a mod (MischiefManaged) and I got into a quarrel over free speech and Kidzworld forum rules (I keep to them) and at random she claimed my name "Tom19" reflected my age (you can't be over 18) and I was then called a pedophile, following my account boot.

Note: She had clearly seen and spoken with me in succession for 5 years prior to boot, and you can't change your username. We had a good relationship at the time. The claim that I was 19 and stalking children was a terrible accusation. You can check out my facebook if you don't believe me xD (Tom Cochran)

Of course, these are simply my experiences. I trust others will have different experiences, and I suggest you go for it - There are of course bad times, but there will be good, and those will be worth it.

Good luck, and have fun :)
