About Ask for Kids
Editorial Policy

Kids have great imaginations and are curious by nature. That's why Ask for Kids has created a fast, easy, and safe way for kids to find information and answers online. Ask for Kids is primarily an educational Web site that kids can use for homework help and research for school projects. But we've also included fun games and activities.

Each Web site included in Ask for Kids is carefully selected by an editor. We include only "G-rated" pages and those written specifically for children. We select sites for the quality and depth of their content, and for safety. This criteria extends to the content of the pages presented on the Ask for Kids search results page, as well as the content of pages directly linked to on those results.

For example, a search for "Why is the sun hot?" returns several options on the search results page.

Let's call these pages "Level 1".
Hyperlinks on these pages link to "Level 2" pages.
Hyperlinks on Level 2 pages link to "Level 3" pages, and so on.
We editorially verify the content of Level 1 and Level 2, but not Level 3.

At that point, users are surfing the Web outside of the scope of verification we can provide, and we strongly encourage parents to take advantage of content-filtering options offered by popular browsers.

In addition, Web sites can change suddenly and without our knowing. We go to great lengths to verify the content of our search results pages and the sites to which our results directly link. Unfortunately, a site that has been verified as safe can eventually change its content, advertising policy, or the Web sites it directly links to, becoming inappropriate without Ask for Kids knowing it. We will continue to make Ask for Kids as safe as possible, however, if you do find any inappropriate materials while searching with Ask for Kids, please notify us immediately.
