Online ID Card For Children
Wednesday 2 August 2006
An electronic identity card has been created to help protect children who use chatrooms and social network sites on the Internet.
Net-ID-me validates the identities of individuals and verifies their age. The identity card can be applied for by parents and children and costs £10 a year.
The system is designed to help children feel safe online, and know the person they are talking to is really who they say they are.
