Some interesting facts in Wiki's current entry on Indigo Children

Two fascinating tidbits:
In the New Age movement, indigo children are children who are believed to represent a higher state of human evolution. The term itself is a reference to the belief that such children have an indigo-colored aura.<1> Beliefs concerning the exact nature of indigo children vary, with some believing that they have paranormal abilities such as the ability to read minds, and others that they are distinguished from non-indigo children merely by more conventional traits such as increased empathy and creativity.

There is no scientific support for these claims.<2> Similarly, despite frequent claims to the contrary, there is no evidence that these children actually shine with a blue glow when seen under blacklight.


and

They are strong-willed, independent thinkers who prefer to be self-guided rather than directed by others. They tend to think outside of the box, and are often referred to as "system busters". They are naturally drawn to matters concerning metaphysics, spirituality, the paranormal, the occult, and mysteries, while opposing conventional beliefs and unquestioned authority. They are often considered spiritually gifted, due in part to their depth of wisdom and/or level of awareness that is said to be "beyond their years", as well as the extraordinary talents and/or abilities that they allegedly possess, such as "third eye perception".

Indigo children have the power to validate parking anywhere in the continental United States, and they also have the miraculous ability to withstand the fawning New Age gobbledygook heaped on them by over-reaching parents.


also

Indigo Children are protected by a zealous cabal of true believers who go to great lengths to control information available about the alleged phenomenon. Anything seen as off-message or contrary to the accepted dogma is summarily tossed into the memory hole.


Check back often. Some shameless asshole seems to update the entry with new tidbits every now and then...
