SAN RAMON, CA--(Marketwire - December 20, 2007) - The Children's Internet, Inc. (OTCBB: CITC) announced today that it has amended the terms of its agreement with The Children's Internet Holding Company (TCIH) to permit TCIH to purchase up to an additional 128,040,988 shares of TCI Common Stock for an aggregate of $8 million. The parties also agreed to extend the outside termination date of their Definitive Stock Purchase Agreement (DSPA) from December 31, 2007 to January 31, 2008.

Currently, the DSPA provides for the purchase of 128,040,988 shares of TCI stock for an aggregate purchase price of $8 million. The new agreement allows TCIH to potentially double its investment in TCI through exercise of a warrant to purchase up to 128,040,988 shares of TCI common stock at an exercise price equal to the purchase price per share of common stock under the DSPA. The warrant may only be exercised after the closing of the DSPA, and then, only until April 30, 2008.

Richard J. Lewis III, TCI's Acting CEO and the Manager of TCIH, commented: "The warrant gives TCIH the flexibility to provide significant additional funding to TCI at the closing, which will allow TCI to implement its post-closing strategy more quickly and efficiently than we otherwise would have been able to do. The extension of the termination date also gives us additional time to plan our post-closing efforts, manage the IT transfer from Two Dog Net and raise additional funds."

TCI also recently entered into a Services Agreement with Two Dog Net (TDN) under which, TDN will continue to provide TCI office lease and equipment rental services until the closing under the DSPA. TCIH is a third-party beneficiary to the rights of TCI and a guarantor of the payments to be made by TCI under the Services Agreement.

New Technology Development Team

In order to facilitate the transfer of technology and ensure continual and reliable performance under the Service Agreement, TCI is also pleased to announce the formation of its new technology development team (the "Tech Team") that is being put into place by TCIH in anticipation of the closing. Each member of the Tech Team has a specific area of Internet software and security expertise. The Tech Team is led by Kenneth C. Wilkinson, formerly of Boxer Technology, LLC., who has over 20 years' experience in the IT business including as a leading software developer. Senior Developer Rick Leinecker has been an expert in the field of Internet filtering technologies for over 10 years. Tyler Wheeler, the Chief Architect and one of the original creators of The Children's Internet® software, has over 20 years of software and hardware integration and design experience. Daniel W. Schoenthal has over 25 years of design and implementation experience, and is currently providing content architecture and access control list services in addition to being the home office trouble shooter for TCIH
