Where can special needs children whelchair dependnt & nonverbal children webcam chat safely?

Question:I have a 7 year old little girl and she loves to use the internet. SHe is wheelchair dependnat and non verbal and we are encouraging her to use the computer. She loves to use our webcam with relatives, but they are not always available. SO I was wondeering if anyone knew of a safe site where children and their parents can visit and connect via webcam so that the kids can see each other and communicate? ANy suggestions ~ all welcome.

Answers:
I don't know of any sites like this I just wanted to say that I think it's great that you are encouraging your daughter like this. I don't see where there would be any problem as long as you are monitoring the chats(as you said you will). Children with disabilities deserve to live as much of a normal life as they can. People can be stupid and cruel when it comes to these kids. You sound like a great mother who is doing everything she can to make her daughters life great. Keep it up and don't let other people discourage you! Sending many good thoughts to you and your girl.
This is your child and you make your own decisions for her, but personally, I would look at this situation keeping the general population in mind and asking this question...
"Would you let a non-disabled child video chat with strangers online?"
I personally would answer no, and would only let your daughter chat with relatives. If they aren't available, no chatting. That's life.

If she really needs some kind of computer simulated video chat, hook up a video camera broadcasting yourself from another room in the house. It only involves having a video camera. The camera-to-tv cord should be included!

It's safer.
