Kibooku
Story Highlight
A new safe social networking site for children called Kibooku will be donating 50p of every monthly subscription to Cash For Kids.
An Angus dad was so worried that his children could become victims to the growing problem of cyber bullying and child predators that he’s set up his own social networking site for youngsters aged between 6 and 13.
Enterprising Jamie Tosh thinks that Kibooku.com is the safest, fun-filled site for younger children. Jamie says his motivation was to create a site which was a safe haven for thousands of kids and which would give their parents peace of mind.
“We were constantly being pestered by our 10-year-old twins who wanted to go online and chat to their friends but not a site they thought was babyish,” said Jamie. “However when we did online research into a number of sites, I found there weren’t any that provided a safe and secure environment for kids to talk to their peers and for us to be sure of who they are actually in contact with at all times.”
Jamie found that most sites offered users the opportunity to set up a page and interact with children without leaving any, or very little, traceability should they wish to hide their identity. “So we came up with a new solution which gives parents full control. The break-through social networking web site is designed especially for the 6 to 13 age group,” Jamie explained.
It offers all the benefits of introducing young children to the fun side of social networking without any of the dangers of child predators or adult content.
The website offers membership at less than two pounds per month and 50 pence of the subscription is being donated to the UK wide charity Cash for Kids.
