MISS AMERICA KEEPS KIDS SAFE ON THE 'NET
"DEAR FRIENDS OF RADIO"
ATLANTIC
CITY, N.J. - Seven years ago, 13-year-old Lauren Nelson and a few
friends entered an Internet chat room during a sleepover. Within a
week, an online predator was e-mailing one of them lurid photos.
"We
were chatting with people we didn't know, which was our first mistake,
and someone asked for our personal information," she said. "A week
later, he sent some inappropriate pictures to one of my friends. We
were all scared, and told our parents, who contacted the authorities."
Now
Nelson, who is the reigning Miss America, is the centerpiece of a new
kid-friendly Internet browser designed to keep children away from
dangerous online sites and contacts.
The
Miss America Kid-Safe Web Browser is to debut on Thursday. The free
download includes blocking mechanisms that have existed for years. But
it also features an animated Nelson who walks kids through their online
experience, advising them about Internet safety and spouting random
trivia: "There are twice as many kangaroos as people in Australia!"
