If you're a kid (18 or under) this is something to read
We want you to know that You Are Not Alone. Tens of thousands of DPF members and people who are browsing these pages every month were once kids just like you. And many of them at one time thought they were alone. They thought there was nobody else in the world with the kind of feelings and desires that you have. Even today, every day, via email and snail mail, we still get letters and comments from hundreds people who tell us that until they found DPF they thought "they were the only one in the world who loved diapers or wanted to be a big baby, or that there was something wrong with them". Even today.
Now you know that You Are Not Alone, and it is a wonderful feeling, isn't it? You are also part of a wonderful change taking place in the world. Very soon, in just a few years, some things will be different in that no one will ever again have to feel alone because they have feelings like you do. No one. Ever again. That's because kids like you will constantly be finding these pages and learning the truth.
Our new Teen Forum was created just for you. Have fun.Be brave. Study hard, because the world is an exciting place and there is an awful lot to learn. Read books. Look at trees. Remember the moon. Hello and good luck, Tommy
We at DPF would like to call the attention of parents to currently available software you can use to control what your kids can see on the Internet. The following is a list of companies that provide software that can help you restrict your kid's access to adult sites. We encourage you to look these tools over. Whatever you do, please remember that your kids have a great gift - the gift of curiosity and a desire to learn. It is proper that you guide your kids in their search for knowledge, but it is also important that you guide them in a way that encourages their curiosity. Good luck, and thanks for listening

Cyber Patrol allows parents to manage computer use in their own household(s), by providing control over Internet access, use of local applications, and the times of day and total time in a day that children are allowed to use the computer. Cumulative duration of Internet and other application use is captured, allowing daily, weekly and monthly reporting. In addition to providing a useful overview of computer usage, these reports can also be used as independent verification of on-line service provider and telephone bills.
Cyber Patrol for Windows blocks access from any computer that uses WINSOCK-compliant Internet applications such as Netscape, AmericaOn-Line, Mosaic or CompuServe to access the Internet. Cyber Patrol for Macintosh intercepts calls to the Macintosh TCP driver. Cyber Patrol claims to be the first and only Internet filter that works with all browsers,including 32-bit browsers (example: Microsoft Internet Explorer). Cyber Patrol loads during start-up and runs in the background and blocks access to WWW, ftp and gopher by site name (down to the file directory or page); Usenet, by newsgroup name (including a wildcard*extension) and Internet Relay Chat (IRC) by both name and identified words/phrases. Executable files on PCs, such as the programs for the major on-line services and games, can be blocked by both time of day and cumulative duration. Several safeguards are included in Cyber Patrol, including controls which prevent children from disabling Cyber Patrol or simply renaming blocked applications.
