  Informational posts related to misc.kids hierarchy. (Moderated)

  For the periodic posting of informational posts and FAQ files related
  to groups in the misc.kids hierarchy.  Occasional one-time
  announcements of interest to misc.kids readers (such as juvenile
  product recall, misc.kids picnics or photoalbums) may be crossposted
  here from misc.kids (and/or the appropriate subgroup(s)).  However, as
  a low volume newsgroup, birth announcements, etc. are not appropriate
  for this group.  Posts to this group should be informational;
  discussion and questions will not appear here.  No advertising.
  Posters should be aware that the moderator cannot do distributions for
  other regions, and that there may be moderation delays.

      is never a gun in your home, there may be one in a friend's,
      neighbor's or a relative's home. If you have children, you
      should read this FAQ.
