An FBI website meant to teach children not to give out personal information while at a website violates child online safety laws by asking children to give out personal information.
The site invites child readers to take part in a Common Knowledge Foundation quiz on how to become an FBI agent which requires that the child first enter personal information; their home telephone number and address. Worse, Common Knowledge Foundation never obtained the law-required clearance to be asking these questions of children.
But on the bright side, children come away with a clear understanding of how government operates.
