I am thinking of eventually getting my 7 yo son a Nintendo DS. I am
concerned about the feature allowing him to hook up with people through
a WiFi connection. I don't mind him playing with his friend, who lives
a drive away, but I don't want him playing with random people and I
don't want anyone contacting him. Is there a parental control feature
on the Nintendo DS? Is there a safety feature built in?

Where is he going to find a WiFi connection? At
your home, you can configure it so that he doesn't have
access to it with his DS. Is there anywhere else that it's
likely to be an issue?
