Don't let them use the web. Its harder to avoid offending stuff on the web than it
is to find it. If you don't want them to experience it, either talk to them and give
them trust, or pull the plug.

Some facts:

1. AWCI treats ALL it's customers as children.

2. If AWCL were to change the fee for (any) citizenship they certainly wouldn't make
it cheaper.

Do you really think AWCL will pay (throug reduced rate) to give extra service?

What would stop everyone from getting kiddie-cits? How do you control that they are
the proper age? And how is this easier than controlling the children's age in the
first place?

Why kill the childrens privilege of being treated the same as grown ups the one
place this is possible?

Which features would that be? be more specific...Is your goal to make the parents
happy or the children safe?
