For those of you who are looking into purchasing a Kindle Fire for your children, you should know that there are no parental controls built in. The only restrictions are for app and other purchasing or just shutting off the wi-fi option. Your child can just upload a rated R movie from cloud storage no problem with wi-fi access and or search around the internet for whatever they may choose. Try searching for "Barbie" and see what comes up, not good. This is a major error on Amazon's part in the creation of the Kindle Fire and they should put a warning on the item for parents. You could be putting pornography and other destructive material into your child's hands without knowing.
Kindle Fire-not recommended for children under 18 at this point. Shame on Amazon for this oversight.
