Uncommonly parents find websites that they can speak in confidence with their kids. Every year there is a new popular social network or gaming site dedicated to teens and younger. Of course parents and guardians have the parental control option on computers but they cannot block every site in which they don’t know about.
Generally trendy social networks are never monitored and usually lets anyone join, leaving a large gateway for misleading today’s youth from grown men and women. Everyday there is a story of how a teen-aged girl or boy is mentally, verbally, and unfortunately physically harmed by the people they meet online. Something has to change. There is only a handful of teen dating and social networks that monitor people coming in. Most of these sites charge parents and guardians a fee on a monthly or annual basis. There is only one site by the name, ourteennetwork.com that does not charge. The developers were terrified by the growing numbers of crimes due online teen violence and thought it would be appropriate to offer a service for teens aged thirteen through nineteen to make new friendships online in a safe and completely monitored community.
Nearly all teens feel imprisoned when parents suggest similar sites like our teen network, that is why this teen dating and social network supplies teens with all of the popular features such as multiple chat rooms, games, movies, instant messaging, an interactive forum, customizable profiles, music, and more to make the online experience safe yet familiar.
Every adult that tries to join, or lies about their age and starts engaging with teens in an inappropriate manner are automatically banned from the site. Teens can also report, flag, or simply block any other user who shows pedophilic behavior, or who seems abusive. These flags are reported to the administration and then are given to the appropriate authorities.
