As a young adult myself, it wasn't that long ago when I was reading these stories as an adolescent, and while some may think the content is a little objectionable, it is nothing your kid hasn't seen before. I would say that a mature 12 year old should have no trouble here. It is really up to you to decide what is appropriate for your child.

Wonderful site, but maybe not for young kids.
I absolutely love this site. It is so interesting and educational, and best of all, all of its content is researched and verified so you know that what you're reading is true. I wish more people knew about Snopes so they would stop ignorantly spreading untrue urban legends. However, I can't recommend Snopes for kids, because it does have a "Risque" and a "Horror" section and some of its stories can contain mature content. I think this is a great site for older teens, or maybe for older kids with adult supervision.

good website just dont click on horror or risque because it can make you get computer virus!!!
cool website. my brother goes on this once in a while. Kids can go on this but parents should just tell them not to click on horror or risque because it isnt appropriate for them to look at.

Good site to know about
This is an important site for anybody who gets emails forwarded to them with dire warnings of headlight flashing, exploding pop bottles or even how forwarding and email from Bill Gates can save poor kids in Africa.
