Nanc,
My kids are subscribed to a forum called "Caring Kids". This is the address
<CARINGKIDS@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU>
It works like mol with all posts going to each subscribed member. The kids
either have a life threatening disease themselves or their parents have
cancer. I believe a girl named Molly is the facilitator. It is not very
active at the moment but is designed for kids to be able to talk to each
other about what they are going through. Some are very informed and others
just want someone to share their feelings with.
