But I did a quick test to see how safe it really is for children and it didn't perform very well. For instance, searching for 女 (woman) with the 图片 (images) function resulted in <a href="http://image.baidu.com/i?tn=baiduimage&ct=201326592&lm=-1&cl=2&word=%C5%AE" rel="nofollow">this page</a> coming up first (not work safe or for children whose parents don't want them to see people having sex or upskirt shots). I checked out the normal Baidu search function and it resulted in exactly the same page. It actually performs very well with some search terms, which result in sites especially designed for children. But if you can't do an image search for "woman" that results in pictures appropriate for children, then I wouldn't be encouraging my daughter to use it for her homework.
