DIGIKIDS® will offer and promote CyberPatrol’s award-winning Parental Controls 7.7 web filtering software and educations materials throughout its franchise organization and on its site. DIGIKIDS® will also market CyberPatrol products to the educational, library and small business markets.
“CyberPatrol’s web filtering and educational products are a perfect addition to our Child ID Program,” said DIGIKIDS® CEO and president Michael J.

With the ever-increasing number of risks facing today’s children, it is important than leading child safety organizations find creative ways to work together to achieve our shared goals. We’re pleased to be working with DIGKIDS to leverage our mutual strengths.”
