Family FAQ

You asked:

Should I let my young children have their own email accounts?

The Online Family answers:

Most parents want to know who their young kids are interacting with online. So to play it safe, many experts suggest that you set up and have access to your children’s email accounts. You can set up an account for your son or daughter via your computer’s email program or a free web service. For example, check out Yahoo! Family Accounts, which allows you to create and monitor your children’s email accounts.
