Featured Product & Service Statement: 1/12/16

To date, Scribble Scoop does not receive any form of compensation for the products and services discussed within the site. If changes are made to the following policy, clear disclosure of advertisement will be made specifically to such material.

As a strong advocate for the growth and betterment of children, we look down upon undisclosed, non-beneficial marketing of goods and services to youth.

We too, however, recognize the importance of purposeful exposure of art, music, technology, etc. to our youth. As a result, products or services that we find beneficial, interesting, “cool”, or simply relevant to our demographic are periodically placed on our site. We find that not doing so would defeat the purpose of accurately providing current information and entertainment to children.
