Idea for kids' blogging network

I just posted this in Bunny on Blogs, and I decided I might get wider feedback here, especially from the people who run this blogging network.

Forget the debate about whether an MA section is needed on BN. What I would love to see is an entirely seperate Blogging-Network-type blogging network for kids.

The Baby Bunny already keeps a journal. So do a lot of kids. And a lot of kids participate on e-mail lists and forums. I think it would be great if kids could share blogs the way we do.

K-Blog (cute, huh?) would have to be closely moderated, especially the comments sections, to guard against incursion by creepy adults. But it could be done! Kids would be able to talk about difficult subjects, but they would have to do so without using obscenities.

This would probably appeal most to tweens and young teens. Once they hit high school they'll probaby lose interest and join an adult group.

Any thoughts on this?
