What Parents Need to Know
About Kiwibox
Parents need to know that although teens are encouraged not to upload profile photos containing nudity, violence, or illegal activities on this site, there's no filter to stop it; the same goes for posting swear words or inappropriate comments. All the site does to monitor activity is offer a link to submit a complaint about any images or language on a page. Teens must register for this site, which involves submitting their age, email, zip code, and first and last name to post or create a profile. During registration, you're offered the chance to get "cool stuff" from Kiwibox's partners (listed as free stuff, special offers, and more) but can opt out of it. Users are supposed to be 13 or older, but you can enter any birth date, and the site doesn't require any age confirmation from a parent or guardian. With a profile, you're able to email other users through the site's email system, and you can also add strangers as friends by sending them a request through the site. Users can tell other users that they have a crush on them using the eCupid Love Matcher by entering their email and name.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why it's important to be careful about giving out your name and email address to a Web site or to any companies that advertise on a Web site. What kind of things might they send you? What does the site get out of offering "cool stuff" from their partners? Why do you think certain products target teens?
