Monitored Kids Chat Rooms
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER!

We monitor all chat room activity. Chat room monitoring at KidChatters™ is far better than at most other chat sites for kids because we monitor three ways - in the chat room "foreground" ; in the chat room "background" ; and again at the chat message posting with sophisticated word filtering software. This unique "triple monitoring" approach at KidChatters™ is one important reason why our chat rooms are a safer alternative to most other chat sites for children. 

"Background" monitoring is one of our most effective security tools. Our adult "background monitors" are not distracted by having to converse with chat room participants. The kids have much more fun because they feel they are alone with their friends and can be themselves - not much different as to how they feel when on the playground during recess with Teachers standing off to the side observing. This monitoring technique has proven to be very successful at catching unauthorized and problem users who let their guard down because they have forgotten there are adults in the background monitoring the chat room. 

"Foreground" monitoring is another very effective tool. Our adult "foreground monitors" are able to help the kids with their application questions and keep the chat room lively and fun. Known by the kids as "Guardians," they usually are in the chat rooms during the most active time periods. They are there to answer questions and maintain a pleasant chat room environment. If they are not in the room and you have a quest, you or your child can always reach a KidChatters™ Guardian by email to guardians@kidchatters.com

"Filtering" software is our preventative monitoring tool. All messages posted in the chat room are first checked by our word filtering software. Since our adult room monitors do not  "censor" messages before they are posted in our chat room, we use a sophisticated word filter program to review the words before they are broadcasted. This helps us reduce to a nominal level the use of obscene and offensive language.

We do not allow "guest" chatters to enter our chat rooms. We want to know the identity of all of our chat room participants. Since we do not know with certainty the identity of "guest" chatters and do not want our kids exposed to dangerous transient traffic, we do not allow "guest" chatters to enter our community chat rooms prior to completing a full registration at KidChatters™.  However, for those who want to check us out we have a 30 Day Money-Back Trial Program. We know this may be inconvenient for some, but the security risk associated with transient traffic is too great.

We define acceptable KidChatters™ chat room behavior clearly. While we think all parents should take the time to teach their children how to behave properly when in a chat room, not all parents do. Problem users at most chat services are allowed to continue their disruptive behavior without consequence. Recognizing this problem, our solution is to have a clear set of chat room rules, act quickly and discipline firmly. We are one of the few services for children in which the consequence of a chat room rule violation is that the child's access may be temporarily blocked until we can counsel with a parent. Much like a child's school, we think it is important to have parental participation and involvement when necessary.

No personal profiles can be created for viewing by strangers. Most chat rooms allow their users to create a personal profile of themselves. These profiles are loaded with information such as name, age, email address, home address, phone number, school, hobbies, and photo. This information is then made readily available to any chat room user who logs on. Not ours! The personal profile feature has been disabled. With no personal profile available for viewing, your child's privacy is better protected.

We limit chat room operating hours. Our chat rooms are not open 24/7. We have found that late night and very early morning hours can easily lead to trouble. Here's our chat room hours: 

Our chat rooms are lots of fun! For safety's sake we use the most secure chat server software available. However, there is no compromise when it comes to fun! You will find that your kids will love our chat rooms. They get to use emoticons and sounds that have been especially designed to make their chat experience a lot of fun. And, because we do not permit the uploading of custom images there is no risk that any inappropriate picture can be posted in the chat room.

Our chat server is Java based technology so there is nothing to download. The advantage of Java is that it works with just about any Java enabled system. The technical requirements are minimal. The technical requirements for our chat service include:
