TARGET: Chat lines/rooms for younger children

["Wolfgram, Linda" <LWolfgram@BENTON.K12.IA.US>]

I'm posting this for a public librarian friend.  Please send replies to me,
and I'll post a hit (with names of senders included unless requested
otherwise).  Thanks for your help!

Here's her question: Do you know of any good chat lines/rooms (whatever
they're
called!!)  for younger children?  My ten year old is pestering me
constantly.  I don't want her to simply sign on in a chat room.  I'm
looking for something with a bit more direction.  For example:  GirlZone is
an excellent web site.  One of the many things they offer are chat
sessions.  They are scheduled, however, and the topic is posted.  One week
the girls were invited to discuss the book and chat with the author of
"Chicken Soup for the Teen-Age Soul" for example. Typically these chats are
on Wednesday evenings and my daughter has church so has never been able to
participate.  Do you, or anyone you know have experience in this area and
feel comfortable recommending a particular site?
