Does Your Child Need a Safe & Secure Email Account?


YAK 365 email system has been designed with kids and parents in mind. From the creator:


“I hesitated to give my child a hotmail/gmail account, because I cannot monitor who is sending him an email; and who/what he is replying to. Besides, the threat of online predators/malware/spam ware was is a big deterrent.  I simply ignored the fact he needed an email, until the day he NEEDED an email account. This led me to research for one, and I ended up designing a system that truly stands the test of a MOM. The system allows the parent to be in charge of permissions allowed for their kids. Each child may have a unique set of permissions depending on their age.” Visit www.yak365.com for more info.PROMOCODE:SPL(50% discount).
