Kid Safe Search Engine – KidRex
Posted under Free Resources, Home and Family Related, Resources by ltruex
Several years ago my daughter was online searching the web for pictures of kittens. Apparently our kid-safe protocols weren’t set and she ended up finding sites that didn’t have kittens in the feline sense of the word. After getting over the shock and resetting the parent controls, we felt better, but still wondered what kinds of other searches would result in questionnable content. With all the tricks that some web people use to dupe search engines and secure protocols, we couldn’t trust that our kids were 100% safe.
Recently I discovered KidRex a kid-safe search engine. Using Google’s Custom Search and Safe Search, as well as checking sites against its own database of inappropriate sites, KidRex strives to offer kids a safe place to find information on the Internet. KidRex says that it filters to remove sexual content, but it doesn’t indicate if it also screens for violence, hate, etc. It admits that the engine isn’t 100% safe as some sites may slip through the filters. To that end it provides a way to submit information about inappropriate sites to its database for future exclusion.
The search page is much like Google’s in that there is very little but the search box on the page. With a crayon picture of a dinosaur its geared towards young children. Because of that and because filters aren’t 100%, parents will still want to screen what their children are finding online. But its a good starting point to keeping children safe from inappropriate material.

Hi Chris – You’ll want to check it out for yourself to see what you think. Even Kidrex says its not 100% foolproof. And it appears to only focus on filtering out sexually related content, not necessarily violence or other things you want to screen. But its safer than the regular engines.
It is nearly impossible to actually control what a kid does online. If they are 10 and under, maybe, but at a certain age my boy got more tech savvy than me. Oh well…
