Abstract
A message screening system includes routing to a supervisory recipient an instant message or a chat room message directed to an intended recipient. The supervisory recipient then is allowed to screen the instant message or the chat room message by approving or rejecting the message. The instant message or the chat room message then is forwarded to the intended recipient if the message is approved by the supervisory recipient.
