For a website designed by a teenager, chatroulette is incredibly inappropriate for kids.

Perhaps it's that very inappropriateness that's fueling the popularity of the chat video site, but regardless, this is exactly why parents need to invest in parental controls.

Chatroulette is a chat site that features a webcam, so users can see one another and chat as well. The novelty of the site, according to CNET.com, is that you don't know who you're going to chat with. In essence, you are matched with a total stranger and allowed to see and hear whatever that person says/does.

Parents are already concerned, and for good reason.

As the author of the article makes clear, many of the users of chatroulette are adult men engaging in very inappropriate behavior. These are things that kids simply shouldn't see, and people that they shouldn't meet.

Parental controls are key in this situation. As more and more kids catch on to this latest chat video site, more and more dangerous individuals will also find their way there.

The best parental controls would allow concerned moms and dads to block the site entirely. Even better, those with screenshots and an invisible keylogger would allow parents to see who their child is talking to and what's being said should their kid find a way on to the site anyway.

The site, according to sources, is "operated by a 17-year-old high school student in Moscow."

Leave it to a teenager to terrorize parents all over the globe.
