  • Kids may use the chat component of social networking sites to talk with other people on the network. These sites may allow users to see when their contacts are online.
  • Kids may use the email/message component to connect with others online.
  • Kids may join groups/networks which represent their interests and/or activities.
  • Kids can play games on social networking sites. These sites allow users, including children, to add applications, do quizzes, and send gifts to friends.
