What Parents Need to Know
About PlanetCazmo
Parents need to know that this site is still in beta and offers a safe chat feature as well as open chat; the open chat is monitored, and obvious inappropriate language gets filtered out. Parental permission isn't required for registration -- users under 18 are simply urged to have their parents read the site's terms and conditions. And, although kids are discouraged from providing personally identifiable information, there's nothing preventing them from doing this (though the info would probably be removed as soon as a monitor sees it). And, younger kids may not understand what's happening when other members ignore them, taunt them, walk away from them, or do other hurtful actions. Consequently, some tweens and younger teens may require supervision while using this site, unless you're sure they're using the safe chat feature -- which happens in all virtual worlds. In addition, the site's creators plan to introduce product ads as an integral part of the user experience.

Closely monitored...
I don't know all that much about the website itself, but my 7 year old son likes to 'meet up' with his friends online. Last night, he came to me and said that something was wrong with the computer because he couldn't log into his account. When I checked it, the account said that he had been banned for inappropriate behavior. I was shocked - what could he possibly have done??? He'd only had the account activated for about a day! I used the 'contact us' feature on the website and asked them to let me know what had happened. Within a few hours I had a detailed explanation of what he said/did to warrant the 'ban'. It's nice to know that there is acutally someone monitoring what is being said/done in order to make sure that our children are protected. It stinks that my son was the child acting inappropriatley, but it opened my eyes to the fact that he clearly needs a lesson in proper internet behavior. A+ to PlanetCazmo for truly paying attention!
