If you want an alt. group, there's no need for much discussion, just get
your sysadmin (or any other sympathetic sysadmin) to newgroup it, and send
mail to Spaf asking him to include the name on his monthly postings (some
sites use this list to determine which alt groups are "official", as if
that meant anything).

Personally, I'd rather see soc.kids.

Another option would be to announce that you're going to start posting 
in soc.misc or misc.misc and see how much traffic turns up, and how 
valuable it is.  A vote on soc.kids right now would not reflect the amount
or lack of interest in such a group -- some people would vote NO out 
of bigotry, others would vote YES to counter balance the NO's but wouldn't
actually read the group themselves.  Once you have an idea how many people
are interested, then come back for a soc.kids vote.
