Gromsocial.com is touting itself as a "website designed for kids by kids giving them a safe & fun environment to interact in" full of safeguards, free of bullies and instilling anti-drug and smoking messages in its' users.
The site was created by Zach Marks, a precocious 11-year-old Florida boy who wanted something more age-appropriate after a number of thwarted attempts to maintain a Facebook account.
With that in mind, he and his family took the idea to a web designer, who brought it to life with the elements he wanted.
