That is the part that frightens me. There is no way I'd submit my children's e-mail address to something like that. I found it much simpler to teach my children the skills they'd need to function on the internet. When they got their first e-mail accounts, they were told *never* to use their real names, *never* to give out their address or any personal information. They were also taught how to use the "delete" key.
It's impossible to protect children from everything that's out there. But passing laws in lieu of responsible parenting won't help.
Every pedophile hacker in the world will try to get into that list. A lot will succeed.
