This is a pretty amazing site, created by an 11 year old as a safe social site for children. This post from provides a great overview, but perhaps the word of the founder says it the best...
"I have been building my site since Nov. 2011. I spend lots of time drawing new graphics, researching new games, fun facts, cool kids books, cool videos, nutrition tips and highlighting the best young up and coming athletes. It is coming along well. Kids seem to like my site, especially the Grom Helpers and the games. I am excited to watch it grow. I am proud of my efforts in making my idea a reality."
