I do NOT support the idea of children interacting directly with adults in this environment.
Agreed.
This site serves an existing role quite well. There are children oriented sites that can do much better out there. While I am flattered you (addressed to the supporters of this idea) think AtheistForums.org can contain a forum-within-a-forum oriented purely to children, I think we have difficulty enough in expanding our functionality as it is. An expansion would be out of scope.
Furthermore, the degree of oversight "offered" in this thread would entail additional overhead on my and other moderators part, with all of the responsibility and blame. When it comes to actions and quality thereof, "Less is more".
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
