SAN MATEO, Calif. (AP) — Chil
dren are fueling the Internet explo
sion, according to a new national sur
vey that found the number of 2- to
17-year-olds logging into cyberspace
has tripled since 1997.
"The notion that children are an
emerging market is no longer true.
They have emerged," said Peter
Grunwald, president of the San Ma
teo-based Grunwald Associates,
which conducted the survey.
The survey found that more than
25 million children in the United
States are on the Internet, up from 8
million in 1997.
And by the year 2005, the number
of children online is expected to in
crease by another 70 percent, the sur
vey projected.
Grunwald attributed the growth
of kids on the Internet partly to the
skyrocketing number of mothers on
line. The survey showed a quadru
pling of moms on the Internet, from
4.5 million in 1997 to 16.4 million by
the end of last year.
Children were found to be a pri
mary reason behind household deci
sions to purchase a computer and
gain Internet access, Grunwald said.
"Parents believe the Internet is an im
portant tool for their children's learn
ing and development," he said.
Other survey findings included:
— Almost two-thirds of all family
households have home computer!
and 46 percent of them are hookec
onto the Internet.
— Girls are logging onto the Well
as much or more often thanboysare]
— Schools will likely surpas:
homes as the primary gateway to th
Internet for children by 2005.

LONDON (AP) — The girlfriend of
the late INXS singer Michael Hutchence
won substantial damages Wednesday
from the publishers of a book that said
she deliberately became pregnant to
trap him into a relationship.
Paula Yates also received an apolo-.
gy from The Mail on Sunday tabloid,
which published excerpts from the
book by Vince Lovegrove last year.
Yates, a TV personality and author,
was Hutchence's partner from 1994
until his death in November 1997.
Their daughter. Heavenly Hiraani
Tiger Lily, was born July 22,1996.
Yates said after the hearing she was
pleased. "I think when people start to
tell lies about a 3-year-old child who
has lost her father, anyone would take
action," she said.
Sums of the settlement with the
book's British publishers, Faber &
Faber, and its original Australian pub
lishers were not disclosed.
she was hurt by the actions of tit
woman she had all but consideredij
family member.
Membrano, 48, pleaded noconte
to a single count of receiving stoles

Among the items reported taker
were dozehs of evening gowns, in
cluding one worth $20,000.
Authorities said Stone noticed
things missing over the years and
would occasionally ask Membrano:
she knew where they were.
