I don’t think gay dating sites are great for the people who are really looking for love. People can go in, and hook up, or they can chat. Moderators also ban chatters for breaking the rules, such as excessive bullying, blackmail, and posting personal information and adult content.

If you are talking about physical safety and digital security, then the four rules above will keep kids safe.
