A new internet browser sponsored by Miss America - Lauren Nelson - is to debut today, it has been reported.
The purpose of the browser is to keep children safe on the internet by steering them away from dangerous websites. Since becoming Miss America, Nelson has made internet safety for children her main platform, stemming from a distasteful experience she had on the internet as a young girl.
She recounted: "We were chatting with people we didn't know, which was our first mistake, and someone asked for our personal information. "A week later, he sent some inappropriate pictures to one of my friends. We were all scared and told our parents, who contacted the authorities." Dubbed the Miss America Kid-Safe Web Browser, the browser has an animated version of Nelson who "supervises" childrens' surfing and can even read their email out loud to them.
