I am wondering if Yahoo! IM is safe for kids 10 and under, because if it isn't there is no way someone I'm really close to can have it.

You will not like this answer but NO IM, Email, or IRC is safe for kids. I just started letting my 13 year old use MSN , ICQ, and AIM. She can only go online if she logs everything and her mother and I randomly review her chat.
Just too much evil in the world to leave kids by themselves.

Do you consider the Telephone "safe" for children to use when you're not around? If you can't trust your kids with THAT- then don't let them Instant Message. Children need to be taught to communicate RESPONSIBLY before they can use the phone OR the computer. It you just allow them to use it "any old way"- then that's EXACTLY how they're going to use it. ...

Only an idiot would let a 10 year old use an instant messenger.
