THE CO-FOUNDER AND CREATOR OF SYBERVISION PRESENTS The Children's Internet®


NOTHING IS AS POWERFUL AS AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME

At The Children's Internet, Inc., we understand that the safety of your children is your highest priority. That's why we've made it our business to ensure that they are completely protected while on the Internet. We've dedicated 10 years of research and development and millions of dollars to create our revolutionary technology, The Children's Internet® - an entirely new world that gives totally secure Internet access protected by our patent-pending SafeZone Technology®.

The Children's Internet is the cumulative work of a group of professionals dedicated to bringing the fun and wonder of the Internet to children and families in the safest and easiest way possible. Our team of technology professionals has created the revolutionary and patent pending SafeZone Technology® that ensures the online safety of your family around the clock. Coupled with our security is our award-winning team of children's writers, illustrators and animators who have created the most engaging interface and have given life to The Children's Internet®. PC Magazine voted The Children's Internet® #1 Children's Browser over AOL, Earthlink, and Microsoft by PC Magazine, winning their prestigious "Editors' Choice" Award.

Our award-winning team of content "watchdogs" ensures The Children's Internet is stocked with links and sites that meet our standards for safety, education, entertainment and fun. If a site meets our high standards, then it is added to our "protective bubble."

We realize that when it comes to what's best for your individual child, the parent is the ultimate expert. With our proprietary SafeZone Technology® and our unique Family Favorites™ feature, parents can easily add sites of their choosing from outside of The Children's Internet (such as individual school Web sites or a parent's place of employment) so that The Children's Internet is truly your child's Internet.

The Children's Internet is a safe, unique, educational and entertaining community created specifically for children and families on the Internet. Our product goes hand-in-hand with your child's homework routine and is a necessary tool for your children in their quest for educational growth, academic achievement, social enrichment, and communication. The Children's Internet® is the key to your child's success, enhancing their life every step of the way. Our SafeZone Technology® makes our system radically different and completely superior creating a virtual "Protective Bubble" around The Children's Internet® to lock out all of the harmful content and people, while locking in all of the best.

With 46 million innocent children going online each day, the Internet is by far the world's most powerful information and educational resource. But with all of the benefits of the Internet, risk of exposure to pornography and online predators is a growing and overwhelming danger. SafeZone Technology® secures your child from those dangers protecting them 24/7 from those sites that promote hate, drugs and violence. Alarmingly, the number of pornographic websites has increased by 140% to 372 million web pages and continues to grow. Child pornography requests online have accumulated to 43 billion per year. Children are vulnerable to exploitation and harm as these statistics prove. Highly credible research indicates 80% of kids ages 6-14 are exposed to pornography while doing their homework online. One in five (1 in 5) children receives a sexual solicitation or is exposed to pornography. One in thirty-three (1 in 33) is aggressively solicited for sex or sent money and gifts. One in four (1 in 4) has unwanted exposure to pictures of naked people or people having sex and only one out of four (1 of 4) will tell a parent or report the incident to any law enforcement agency. With those alarming facts, no parent would want to leave anything to chance when it comes to their child's safety.

Now you don't have to. As parents, you want to provide your children with the best, but the reality is that the best sites are often the hardest to find. Not to worry-The Children's Internet has done the work for you by scouring the Web and finding the best content. It's not a one-size-fits-all product. It's organized into four different age groups: 3 to 5, 6 to 8, 9 to 11, and 12 to 14 - making Internet navigation SIMPLE, INTUITIVE AND FUN. The Children's Internet offers a SAFE and dynamic community-complete with a lively cast of animated characters giving your child access to their own homeroom, secure search engine, personal calendar, secure e-mail, homework help, games, surveys, fun facts, a rewards system, news, sports, literature and much more. Our secure e-mail allows correspondence with only approved people you put in their address book to block predators and SPAM. Plus, through our Family Favorites™ feature parents can easily customize the service by adding more age appropriate sites to their child's individual account. With one subscription for a single PC The Children's Internet® supports UNLIMITED users. No other security product offers this level of freedom and customization all within a flexible application that you control.

We are dedicated to looking out for your family and the safety of your children. Welcome to The Children's Internet!

Founder's Message

My dedication to the growth and development of children on the Internet started about ten years ago, when I observed my youngest child learning and playing with computer games. Thinking of the board games my older children played and how they differ from the expansive technology and opportunities available to the children of today, I wanted to combine the exploration of this technology with the integrity of a traditional foundation to enrich children.

I believe that once anyone has loved one child, that person cares for all children. Because of my love and admiration of children I wanted to protect and enrich as many children as I could. In creating The Children's Internet®, I have incorporated my passion for human knowledge with my interest in the benefit of children. I now see that SyberVision, the previous educational company I created, was in preparation for this new adventure on the Internet.

I love to inspire people, and with my vision of integrating education with technology I was heading in a new direction. My means of transportation was the Internet. I arrived in a fertile land that was thriving with growth and overflowing with information for children. Unfortunately, the Internet has ALL kinds of information. With one click of the mouse, a child can tour a museum in France from the comfort of his or her own home. At the same time, that child can also access inappropriate sites that include pornography, drugs, violence, profanity, hatred and other pollutants. I could not stand for such a fantastic tool to rust with filth. I regarded the sanctity of this tool as my responsibility. Instead of saturating children's minds with poison and robbing them of their purity, I wanted to create a safer world for them to roam freely.

I envisioned a candy land of ideas and lessons that parents wouldn't mind their kids filling up on. This new land could not only feed children's minds, it would serve bright colors and entertaining treats that didn't upset them.

With that in mind, I developed The Children's Internet®, a safe, interactive online environment that places a protective bubble around our children. As they are becoming computer savvy, they aren't exposed to the dangers of the Internet. Rather than just blindly blocking out the inappropriate sites by screening inappropriate words, we hand pick the most interesting and exciting sites for children that contain relevant and intriguing information- hundreds of thousands of sites that we add to every day.

We work with educators and Internet experts to constantly improve our product, so children are not only safe, but also stimulated and motivated to learn and explore.

With The Children's Internet, I have created a parental tool that empowers children with knowledge and enriching entertainment. I have put the power back in the parents' hands where, with just one click of the mouse, the world is at the child's fingertips. The Children's Internet clicks with your kids and gives us peace of mind to create a better world.
