MSN 8: Parents' First Line of Defense:

• A parent wouldn’t send a child to play in the street without supervision, and playing online should be no different. Parental Controls in MSN^® 8 give kids the freedom to explore the best of the Web, while helping protect them from inappropriate content.
• With MSN 8 Internet software, each child’s experience can be tailored to his or her maturity, age and interests, while maintaining boundaries that reassure parents.
• Customizable parental controls are an important part of MSN 8 because no Internet service provider can define for everyone what a safe online experience for children looks like. Parents should develop a partnership with their kids to help them make choices as they grow and mature.
