This may not be the final decision but let's see how it goes.
The Kids Introductions and Kids Forums are now accessible to approved members only. That means at this precise moment they are accessible to nobody. Access can be given if a request is made directly to me. Current young members will have no problems being granted access based on past history (assuming they have used the forum responsibly in the past). Access is for under 18's only.
New young members will need to be the son or daughter of a current CBF member. For access they will need to tell me who the parent member is, and I will need to see both parent and child on the general CBF with matching IP's.
Of course there is nothing to stop a child signing up as a parent and a child, then playing both roles - that won't wash I'm afraid.
For now, it's this or goodbye to the kids forums, and until/unless a better plan comes along this is how it will be. I have made it quite clear that I don't want the kids forums to go, so let's see.
