You have to wonder why Google (or any other search engine) isn't catering for this world-wide need. They have the means to do it and it would they could or should have a commercial interest in attracting this demographic.
If you could simply block traffic to most search engines, but allow kids.google.com, you'd be all set if Google were to provide a 'safe search'. Ofcourse, Google already offers some filtering, but it's nowhere near what parents of very young children want.
Perhaps I'm just missing the good sites though, perhaps there already are search engines for kids (or comprehensive online whitelists?)
