Chat rooms that put safety first.

April 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Chat rooms have been around ever since the birth of the Internet and have progressed from basic sending of text to full video chat in many forms. Online chat is one of the most used forms of communication in the world. Skype, being one of the main free forms of online communication, where a user can not only have an online conversation in private but can also chat in groups. Skype is seen as a very safe platform, partly due to the fact that all conversations are private and not gate crashed by stranges.

Chat rooms can be found in many forms, both in text chat and video chat, the latter being the more popular. One problem with public chat rooms is that lots of them are unmoderated, allowing all kinds of things to happen. Have you ever watched the TV show, To Catch a Predator? It shows exactly what can happen when you leave your child or young teenager alone with an Internet connection and is enough to make you want to ban your child from accessing the World Wide Web!

One chat site that is taking safety very seriously is http://www.liveonlinechat.org. With a team of over 50 admin staff working around the clock, it hosts possibly the safest chat rooms you will find online.

An administrator from liveonlinechat.org stated the following..

"I have been to many chat sites in my life and certainly know about the many safety risks. Being part of Live Online Chat gives me hope for the future of chat sites, we put safety before anything else. Keeping out the potential problematic people to safeguard our members is something that all chat sites should do. Anyone is safe to come and chat live at LOC because all our chat rooms are fully moderated 24 hours a day."

At the end of the day, you can not control everything that happens online or what your children or young teenages will visit but you can advise them on what is safe and what is not. At least there are some chat rooms that are making an effort to keep us all safe.
