This week Digital Planet reports on the increasing number of online environments for children.

Gareth Mitchell and Bill Thompson immerse themselves in what can be found on the other side of the screen for the under 12’s.

Penguins, Lego and increasingly social networking sites aimed at the Tweenie generation are enticing thousands of children into the virtual world.

Digital Planet asks what children want from their online experience, how companies try and make these activities safe and how a virtual life can affect their real life interactions.
